How do I downgrade from iCloud+ to iCloud?

How do I downgrade from iCloud+ to iCloud?


I upgraded from iOS 13 to iOS 15 on my iPhone 6S then under settings, it said something about iCloud+ as a menu item that just said "icloud+". After tapping it once, it then upgraded me to iCloud+ showing me a success screen. Is there a way to downgrade back?


Also am I charged any extra money each month for having iCloud+ rather than iCloud?

iPhone 6s, iOS 15

Hi,


To downgrade your iCloud plan, follow instructions here: Downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan - Apple Support


Moreover, if you’ve got an iCloud + plan, then yes, you are charged every month as iCloud + is a paid subscription.

The amount you are charged for depends on your current iCloud + plan. (3 different paid plans)

Hi,


You got it right.

iOS 15 came with new iCloud plans:

> prices didn’t change, but what is included with a paid iCloud plan did.

> With an iCloud + plan, regardless which one you chose, new features are included such as Private Relay or Hide my Email.


To sum up:

you do pay for iCloud —> you have an iCloud + plan

you don’t —> you have an iCloud plan (5GB)
