Why does iOS 7 keep turning off my iCloud account?

I upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 7 last night and it worked fine for about 30 minutes. When I received a text message I noticed that everything was listed by phone number instead of by contacts. Eventually I realized all my contacts were gone because under the iCloud settings everything was turned off. So, I turned everything back on and in about ten minutes everything reloaded.

This morning it happened again! Somehow all my iCloud settings were turned off.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 7

I got the similar problem with my iPhone 4s. And it stars to keep asking me to sign in my iCloud this morning.

Reset iPad

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Note: Data will not be affected.

If the reset doesn't work, you may want to backup and restore iPad.

I'm also having this proble. The contacts tab in iCloud keeps turning off.

then it got worse, it's on and my contacts will not load. iOS 7 has been extremely buggy on my ipad, wish i could go back to ios6

+1, happened to me this morning and it was very jarring. I'm trying the "log in to iCloud on the settings screen with keyed password" suggested on another thread on this issue.

What's worst is that i have been updated to iOS 7 for a while now (got it on day one) but my iCloud crapped out and turned itself ⚠ off ⚠ all on its own around 10-10:30AM this morning.

This just happened to me as well. On my iPad Mini (1st Generation). I just turned the iPad off, then on and turned all the iCloud switches back on and it is fine now. I'll keep an eye on it and report back if it does it again.

Also happening on iPhone 4s, but not on iPhone 5

Have any of you logged a request with Apple?

Same happened to me last night on my iPhone 4s updated to iOS7 two weeks ago… Shutting down the phone did not work for me, had to switch everything back on, even the auto iCloud backup option… It asked to merge and I did it and everything is ok for now… Happened only once so far and it's not asking me to sign back in… Had every single iCloud setting on for ever before this happened, it just shut itself off on it's own but nothing got lost or duplicated. Just turn everything back on and it should be fine.

I found this other discussion and left my rant over there hehehe… Why are random contacts disappearing?
