As is always recommended in any upgrade process, performing a backup is vital to avoid any performance issues afterwards. For iPhones and iPads, the easiest thing to do is have a Wi-Fi connection turned on, and head over to iCloud, the online service that offers users a total of 5GB of available storage.
The method is as simple as going to Settings, clicking on the username, choosing the iCloud / iCloud Backup / Backup Now service. Likewise, there is also the possibility of carrying out the process through iTunes , only needing to connect the mobile with the computer through a Lightning cable.
