Anyone else getting icloud plus advertisements continuously after updating to iOS27?

I am continuously getting advertisement about icloud plus on my iphone 13 Pro, after updating to iOS27. This does not go away after declining the offer multiple times. The badge on Settings icon stays there. Since there is no way I can remove notifications from settings, I am throwing the icon out of my home screen. I thought these kind of cheap acts were limited to low end Chinese phones, but no. Apple is the same. Thank you Apple for lowering your bar.

Do this:

Fix via Media & Purchases

resetting your media session to clear the glitched badge.


  • Open Settings on your iPhone.
  • Tap your Name at the top of the screen.
  • Tap Media & Purchases.
  • Select Sign Out, wait about 30 seconds, and then sign back in with your Apple Account.

Report this to Apple:

Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, reporting it as a bug.  Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what issues reside, and what needs to be fixed. These are just user-to-user forums. Your are NOT speaking with Apple here. Apple reads these forums in their own will and time. No one here has access to your account (and that is a GOOD thing, BTW).

  1. Go Here: Feedback - iCloud - Apple
  2. Select: "Storage" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: that this all started after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread.
  4. Proceed from there as necessary

Troubleshooting iCloud Drive Management:

Seems your iCloud Storage is almost full. So, see about clearing your iCloud Drive, extracting it first. You'd perform this extract using a computer. From there, Force Restart your iPhone.


A. Remove VPNs:

Have any VPNs turned on? If so, remove them from your device, or just turn them off, if required for school or work.


B. Download All of iCloud Drive:

If you wanted to, you could download all of iCloud Drive, and then trash what is in there. Perform my User Tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip. All would be saved, and would then be removed. You would then use Finder to browse all of you downloaded iCloud Drive data.


C. How to Upgrade iCloud+ Storage:

Go Here: Buy iCloud+ or Upgrade your Current Storage Plan - Apple Support

Thank you. There is nothing called “Manage Plan”. I only see upgrade to icloud+. I have tapped Not Now multiple times. In addition I tried tapping the “X” at the top right. Also, I force quit the Settings, restarted the phone. The advertisement is still persistent, along with the badge that cannot be removed.

Just to confirm, I do not back up much to icloud and there is plenty of space for the backup anyways. And, no VPN

Thank you for the information...


Millions of Participants are Upgrading:

Just a hunch, but note that many are performing this upgrade at this moment, and there is only so much that Apple's server can handle. So Apple's servers may be busy. Try Again Later, next time.
