backup of my phone - Help please!!

My iPhone screen died and I need to back up my contacts and photos to the cloud so I can pass the data to my new phone. How could I back up the info from my old phone to the cloud?

Do you use iCloud automatic backups? If so, plug the device in for 24 hours, then check the iCloud backup file from a web browser on another device and see if the backup file was updated.


If you’ve never backed up to iCloud or iTunes before this, you cannot backup now since you need a functional display to set either of those up the first time.
