Manual backup without computer or iCloud.

Is it possible to back up my iPhone 13 without using a computer (because I don’t have one) to an external hard drive so that I can do away with the iCloud back ups?


what kind of external hard drive can do this? And can it be powered by and written on with my phone?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

No. You must either backup to iCloud or to a computer.
