New iCloud Terms and Conditions pop-up

I got this message on my iPhone, during the night a few days ago. I swiped it up, choosing to deal with it in the morning.

I hit continue on "New iCloud Terms & Conditions," and nothing happened.

I tried updating the iPhone software to 18.1, thinking that it would fix the issue, and the notification would go away. It's still there.

Still hit continue. Nothing happening.

I still have service, and iCloud is working/syncing with my MacBook Air.

The same for me. On iPhone iOS 16.7.10

No e-mail, just a notification.

Open a text of conditions and ask to accept it.

I accept it but after I changed my password

I also have an iPhone SE 15.8.3. Tapping 'Continue' on the request to update the T&S only gives me the spinny wheel and won't go further.

Just got off chat with Apple support and was advised that this is legit. Said we can expect to see more in the future.

A family member of mine just got the same notification on her iPad right after clicking on a link sent in an e-mail under a friend's name, but the name was sent using a bizarre e-mail address, so presumably hacked and sent under that name. Right after clicking a link to "view four old photos" the notification popped up in her settings. Appears to be an attempt to get the user's iCloud password.

i Got the same info is this legit?

this did not do anything for me. i am not seeing the terms and conditions and when i click on it it won't work. because of this i cannot connect to my garmin watch

I’ve got this too, as of yesterday. I haven’t clicked any dodgy links or had any dodgy emails. I haven’t accepted it because when I click to view the supposed updated T&Cs they’re in what looks like Greek which is super weird on an iPhone set to English. So I thought something was off as soon as I saw that. Also my husband has the exact same iPhone, same iOS version, same iCloud family account and he doesn’t have this alert.

Whatever this is it appears to be populating the “Apple ID Suggestions” area (see attached screenshots) to spoof a T&C update and prompt an affirmative response that triggers goodness knows what. It’s creepy. Even though I haven’t clicked ‘Agree’ I still I feel like changing my Apple ID password.

Does Apple know about this?

Just got this tonight (Nov.6) as well. Agreed, I've never had a pop-up notification like it, so could be suspicious, esp. as when the option to read as email (rather than on my Mini 13, still on the latest version of iOS17), asked me for my e-mail, since Apple already has that. I'd have expected an option to read online. So I didn't proceed.

I read through most of the tedious gobbledegook that might apply tp me (in Canada.) Without laboriously checking it all, it does appear to be the same as Apple has posted here. Odd way of notifying us, however.

I received this T&C conditions acceptance Nov 6 also. Haven't said Yes yet. This suggestion to turn my Notes sync off then on again...says it will erase Notes on my phone. Have critical info I don't want to lose, so this seems like an odd suggestion?

While some users have turned to social media to panic about all of their notes being gone, thankfully the issue can be fixed by following the steps below.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on your name at the top (aka your Apple Account settings).
3. Tap on iCloud.
4. Tap on Notes.
5. Turn on "Sync this iPhone" (green = on). If it is already on, turn it off and on again.
6. In the Notes app, wait several minutes for your notes to be restored from iCloud.

We began monitoring this issue earlier this week, but it is unclear what the underlying cause is. Apple did not respond to our request for comment.

Looks like a legitimate scam :). Won’t go away no matter what. ToS are pretty restrictive and look like service refusal may come at any time, though not fttb

I also have an iPhone SE 15.8.3. Tapping 'Continue' on the request to update the T&S only gives me the spinny wheel and won't go further.

My OH had the same message. His phone is old. IOS is 15.8.3 and won’t update. He’d agreed to the T&Cs but I then noticed the trusted phone number was one he did not recognise. Very strange and a bit worrying.

Go to Settings and tap your name.

Scroll down to the bottom and click "Sign Out."

Turn on the data that you want to keep a copy of on your device.

Click "Sign Out."

Tap "Sign Out" again.
