I know that apps store data in my iCloud, so I’m wondering if temporarily deactivating my Apple ID/iCloud could potentially cause problems with third party apps that store data in it.
iPhone 13
It shouldn't cause any problems, but if you use the apps while the Apple ID is deactivated, and the changes in app's data aren't backed up to iCloud, you may lose the changes to the app's data if you need to restore from a backup.
Thanks for the reply. To get slightly more specific about my concern, here’s what I’m thinking: I want to deactivate my Apple ID for a while, but, having downloaded dozens of apps in the past, there’s a big chunk of my iCloud storage dedicated to “docs” that I can’t seem to access or remove. I’m sort of wondering whether or not there might be anything stored in that “docs” category that might make it a bad idea to deactivate the Apple ID without backing up the data.
There probably isn't anything in docs that would change/be lost, but having a current backup would make sure you retained the latest data.
Is it safe to temporarily deactivate my Apple ID without backing up my iCloud data?
