It would be very helpful, especially when your iCloud storage is almost full.
Step 1. Connect your old iPhone to Wi-Fi. Go to iPhone Settings >[your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups, find and tap the device name of the iPhone you are using.
Step 2. Every app that is going to be saved in your backup would be listed. You might be confused about that some apps are frequently used, but the data which is ready to save is just 100MB.

Step 3. Go to iCloud > Backups, switch on iCloud Backup and tap Back Up Now. Waiting for the task to complete.
