iCloud storage

Hi I’m looking to pay my monthly iCloud storage. When I follow the instructions given via email to go to my settings it’s saying my card doesn’t work. I just want to find a way to pay for this month

iPhone XR, iOS 15

1.

iCloud subscription.

I just want to find a way to pay for this month


If you have an iCloud subscription, you will receive a monthly bill from Apple, check your email box.

You pay monthly for iCloud storage.

The subscription runs as long as you don't downgrade.

👉 You cannot deactivate/pause the subscription for 1 month, but you can downgrade to free (5 GB).

 

If you have upgraded iCloud storage, it would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.

Once your request for iCloud+ has been activated, you should receive an invoice in your email box.

The iCloud + subscription will be terminated depending on the start date.

If you start on August 1 and are going to cancel now, the subscription will stop on November 1, a monthly term is used.

Once your request for iCloud+ has been activated, you should receive an invoice in your email.


2.

Payment. 

You may need to have a payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free

Check which payment method you have on file
