iCloud is a cloud service developed by Apple. It stores and syncs settings, passwords, and files across devices signed in to the same Apple Account. To turn on app syncing, open your device settings, select your Apple Account by tapping your name, and go to the iCloud settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users get 5 GB of free cloud storage. If that is not enough, you can purchase a paid subscription and increase your storage capacity. Today, we\u2019ll explain how to use iCloud, buy more cloud storage, and set up backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is iCloud and What Is It Used For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s clarify what iCloud is. It is Apple\u2019s cloud platform linked to your account. The service stores selected information and app data, syncs changes between devices, and lets you create iPhone and iPad backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syncing eliminates much of the routine involved in copying data manually. If you edit a note on your iPhone, the updated version will also appear on your other devices. The requirements are simple: all devices must use the same Apple Account, and syncing must be enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How to Turn On iCloud on an iPhone or iPad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Setup takes just a couple of minutes. You need to know your account password and have a stable internet connection. Here is how to turn on iCloud on an iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Open \u201cSettings\u201d on your smartphone.<\/li>
  2. Tap your name at the top of the screen.<\/li>
  3. Go to the iCloud section.<\/li>
  4. In the \u201cSaved to iCloud\u201d menu, select the apps and categories of information you want to sync by turning on the toggles next to the relevant items.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The steps for turning on iCloud on an iPad are identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The initial sync can take a couple of hours, especially if you are uploading a lot of videos and large files to the cloud. In this case, it is better to connect the device to Wi-Fi and a charger. After that, data will be transferred automatically in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
