How to Logout Icloud Acccount and Change Another Account

To log out of an iCloud account, you typically do so from an Apple device, like an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Here's how to sign out of iCloud on different devices:

On an iPhone or iPad:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap on the top entry, where your Apple ID, name, and picture are displayed.
  3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Sign Out.
  4. You might be prompted to enter your Apple ID password. If so, enter it.
  5. Choose whether you want to keep a copy of your iCloud data on the device. If you decide to keep a copy, it won't delete the information from iCloud, but will save a copy to your device.
  6. Tap Sign Out or Turn Off, depending on the version of iOS/iPadOS you're using.
  7. Confirm your decision by tapping Sign Out again.


On a Mac:


  1. Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen.
  2. Select System Preferences.
  3. Click on Apple ID (on macOS Catalina and later) or iCloud (on earlier macOS versions).
  4. On the left panel, click on Overview and then click the Sign Out button.
  5. Similar to iOS, you'll be given the choice of keeping a copy of your iCloud data on the Mac or deleting it. The data remains in iCloud regardless of your decision here.
  6. You may also be prompted to enter your Apple ID password.

On the iCloud website:

  1. Go to www.icloud.com in a web browser.
  2. Enter your Apple ID and password if prompted.
  3. Click on your name in the top right corner.
  4. Click Sign Out.


Remember to always ensure that you've backed up any important data before signing out of iCloud. If you choose to remove iCloud data from a device when signing out, it's essential that you have copies of this data elsewhere if you need it.
