I don’t know how to put things I have saved into a cloud where I can look at them later? I’m sorry to sound dumb but I’m afraid that if I delete them they are gone forever and I need to hold on to them until I have a chance to read them? I have like 5000

It is a good question. The iCloud is a synching service and not an archiving service. The iCloud will synch everything on your iPhone across all devices signed on with the same Apple ID. This means that if you delete an item on your iPhone then it will be deleted on iCloud and vice versa. This also means that what you are seeing on your iPhone is the same as what is in iCloud. If you want to simply examine what is backed up / synced to iCloud then please click here 👉 www.iCloud.com and sign in there with your Apple ID and Password.
