Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud

Hi.


I am getting this kind of emails to my gmail.

Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud via a web browser.


Is this spam or what?

Yes, you can get an email from Apple some times, (I received too last week) like:

Dear Your Name,

Your Apple ID (your Apple ID email address) was used to sign in to iCloud using a web browser.

Date & Time: Apr 16, 2022, 4:48 AM PDT

If the information above sounds familiar to you, please ignore this message.

If you haven't recently signed in to iCloud and you believe someone has attempted to access your account, please change your password as soon as possible via Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com.

Yours sincerely,
