That can be a major hassle.First of all, make sure that you fulfill all the requirements listed below to create iCloud backup on your iPhone 6S.

Requirements:

• Your iPhone must be connected to the power source. You can either connect it using the plug or can use the USB port of your computer.
• The second most important thing is that you will need to have a working Wi-Fi connection in order to back up.
• Another important thing, either you are using the free iCloud account or a paid one, make sure that you have enough storage space available on your iCloud to store the new backup data.

Solutions:

If your iPhone is connected with the Wi-Fi, make sure you are not using any third-party VPN services because sometimes they may cause a problem.
