allow icloud data access on web

SOLVED

I had this issue too. Here's the solution. I had to go to my Mac to engage with the notification. The notification wasn't clickable on my iPhone or iPad. Once I clicked it on my Mac, it stopped continuously sending to my devices.

Here's more details of the issue to help people find this if it's happening to them:

---

I am constantly getting a “Allow iCloud Data Access now on the Web Continue to Settings to turn on iCloud Data Access on the Web” notification on my phone.

I have “access iCloud data on the web” off. Tuesday I went to log into iCloud and it said I have to enable it.

“Good morning, Jason.

iCloud Data Web Access is Off

You turned on Advanced Data Protection. To access data on iCloud.com, you’ll need to turn on web access in iCloud settings on your device.”

There is a button “ Manage on Device” which I clicked and I’ve been receiving that notification ever since.

I’ve enabled, restarted, disabled many times. The notification I get isn’t clickable either. I can only clear it, and it comes back.

I can enable the setting just fine and access iCloud. My issue is this notification continues to arrive whether the setting is on or off.

Hope this helps others that encounter this!

Method with MacBook don’t work for me! Any other ideas how to fix it? I receive these notifications each 10 minutes. Advanced Data Protection is disabled. Please fix this, it is very annoying!!!

If the Mac method didn't work, try this:

1. go to iCloud.com
2. login with your apple account
3. Go to iCloud settings
4. scroll down until you see "log out of all browsers"(in red)
5. click it
6. your problem should be solved

I had the same issue and was considering resetting my device, but I'm glad I didn't. I simply signed out of my Apple account and then signed back in. The persistent notification is now gone.

Spoke with a live apple support rep, it is a bug. They know about it. Will be fixed in an upcoming iOS update

You are getting this message because either you or someone else is trying to access your icloud.com account via a browser or another device. That notice is wanting your approval.

Work for me. Cannot test the mac solution, i dont have one.

This doesn’t work. There are no work arounds or obvious fixes. I was told by apple support (actual live person) that it’s an iOS 18 bug that will/should be fixed in a future update.

Advanced Data Protection for iCloud will automatically disable and prevent iCloud access on the web unless configured differently. It was worth a try. I'm not sure as I've not see this notification before and I'm not finding anything online about it either. I'll keep looking.

Hello Y0NI,

This setting is completely optional. You can disable it if you don't want it or you can keep it enabled if you do. Obviously the benefit of this, is only your Apple devices, logged into your Apple ID, can access your data. The downside is if you're using Windows, or other computers/hardware, to access your Apple ID. Where are you receiving alerts / messages to activate / deactivate this?

1. Open Settings
2. Tap on your Your Name (Apple ID)
3. Tap on iCloud
4. Scroll down to the bottom

You can control this setting with the Access iCloud Data on the Web.

I hope this helps!

I have enabled allow access from the web on my iphone and mac but still I cant login it really do not work very well

This does not work. As others Iin the community have also pointed out. Maybe a fix in the next ios update?
