Q: Downgrading iCloud account

How can one stop all payments for iCloud?  All the Apple "Support" pages are a joke because they have only sent us around in circles referring back to the page I just read.    Thank you.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.2, IMac 21.5. Late 2015. OS ElCapitan

A:

You can decrease the amount of storage by selecting a new plan right from your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, or PC (for example, a 5 GB plan to replace a 200 GB plan). The downgrade will take effect after your current monthly or annual subscription ends.

iOS

  1. If you're using iOS 8 or laters, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage. If you're using an earlier version of iOS, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
  2. Tap Change Storage Plan.
  3. Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
  4. Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
  5. Tap Done.

OS X

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
  2. Click Manage in the lower-right corner.
  3. Click Change Storage Plan in the upper-right corner.
  4. Click Downgrade Options.
  5. Enter your Apple ID password, then click Manage.
  6. Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
  7. Click Done.
