Is there a way to auto backup from iPhones? (lemmy.zip)

I've set up a self hosted photo system with immich, and it works doing automatic backups of photos from the filesystem, eg using termux/cron, although it is a bit flakey. Immich also works for backup, but it's less ideal.

iPhone seems to be a lot harder, backup in immich doesn't work, it seems that iPhones have a complicated was of handling background tasks which make background backups very difficult.

Does anyone know a way of doing any kind of backup automatically, without plugging in a cable and without using iCloud?

You're doing the biggest ad against iPhones. I was planning to get one but man it would suck if I can't even have a background task of my own choosing

iPhone isn't a phone for doing things of your own choosing. The whole concept of iphone is you slot into the apple way. Apple knows best 👍

The more I have to deal with them the less interesting they become.. they work best for people who want to just do what apple tell them
