Backup Your iPhone/iPad Now! Seriously!
New iOS Update Introduces New File System
Toward the end of March Apple will be introducing an update for the operating system on your iPhones and iPads. iOS 10.3 will be introducing new features, but the biggest change is one that you will not see.

Advice from around the internet is to backup your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch before this update comes out.
You can backup to iCloud, which is the method we recommend, or go old school and do it in iTunes. Either way, it's something that you need to put on the top of your priority list.
To backup to iCloud, connect your device to a power source, join your wifi network, and then go to Settings -> iCloud -> Backup. Initiate a backup by selecting Back Up Now.
