How to use iCloud

Hi There I need to understand how can I use iCloud storage and how can I manage saved information and how to retrieve them when needed. I am not that knowledgeable about this so your assistance on this would be much appreciated.


Many thanks

Hi - as far as I know you can do WhatsApp backup in iCloud. Whether that applies to messenger and viber, I don't know.


And yes if someone has your iCloud username and password they can access all your data. So be careful with this information. You can add a layer of security with Two-factor authentication, which basically requires you to confirm a login on an unknown device with your phone. It makes it really, really hard for someone to break in this way. Find more info on two-factor authentication here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915

Great thank you so much for your information Fivetonnie.


I have couple of more questions if you don't mind answer for them:


1) Can we save all our messenger, viber and whatsApp messages (conversations) in iCloud?

2) If someone knows my iCloud username & password can they save my information in their personal iCloud account too?


I would appreciate your assistance on this.


Thanks
