Does anyone know how to actually use any part of icloud+

I got emails today telling me I was automatically enrolled in icloud+. But there was very little information about what the features are and even less about how to set them up. I tried to find out more about Hide My Email and got stuck in an infinite loop of marketing web pages. Is this a prank?

For any of these settings, you may need to accept the new terms and agreements which appears under iCloud+ Feature Updates (beneath your name in settings)

You'll find everything in settings as described above. If you don't see the settings:


  1. Make sure you are running iOS15 and/or MacOS 11.6 on all devices
  2. Be sure to agree to the terms in Settings. Terms appear under your name/Apple ID in Settings. Mine were marked with notifications on an iPhone. Should also appear on a Mac in System Preferences > Apple ID


When you complete a form or create an account, Hide My Email will pop up as part of the registration process.

Private relay can be toggled on or off on device.
