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?

Why set&forget? You never open your gallery?

It's kind of necessary for family members who still need it to be backing up and may take a bit of time to get used to using it. If it's not backing up pics then it won't be useful when they do open it

You do have a point. I have no solution.
