I too have this issue on a 16" 2019 i9 Macbook pro.

The advice above from DerekM87 is only valid if you already have had Icloud running and want to stop it and not ever using Icloud.

No matter what settings I input or click on these very annoying notifications still pop up. To add in my Systems Settings 'Apple Id' my list of devices are greyed out??

What I cannot phantom is surely if I 'disagree' to Apple's T&C the notifications should go away without further intervention, but no... once a reboot up they popup again.

This is definitely a ploy of Apple to continuously pester you to use Icloud in the hoping you will subscribe to its service which like the above reporter absolutely have no intention to use Icloud.

All we are asking Apple is to allow us use our devices without being pressured into a contract that we disagree yet are not constantly being bombarded with pesky annoying notifications including the 'red circle with number' on the system settings tab.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
