Pinkybaby,


This is from the iPhone Users Guide:


CONFIGURE SETTINGS

iCloud

Safely store your photos and videos, documents, and more in iCloud so they’re available even if you lose your iPhone.


Set up iCloud. If you haven’t already signed in with your Apple ID, go to Settings > Sign in to your iPhone. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one.

Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other devices where you’re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.

iCloud is available on devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later, and on PCs with iCloud for Windows 5 or later (Windows 7 or later is required). You can also sign in to iCloud.com from any Mac or PC to access your iCloud information and features like Photos, Find My iPhone, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iWork for iCloud, and more.

Note: iCloud may not be available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by area. For more information, go to the iCloud website.

With iCloud, you can:

  • Store your photos and videos: If you use iCloud Photo Library to store all your photos and videos, you can access them from any device with iOS 8.1 or later, a Mac with OS X 10.10.3 or later, a PC with iCloud for Windows 5 or later, and on iCloud.com when you sign in with the same Apple ID. Use iCloud Photo Sharing to share photos and videos with only the people you choose, and let them add photos, videos, and comments.Note: If you use iCloud Photo Library to store your photos and videos, you can’t use iTunes to sync them with your computer.
  • Store and retrieve your documents: Store documents on iCloud Drive in the Files app and access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.
  • Back up your data: Back up iPhone to iCloud automatically when iPhone is connected to power and Wi-Fi. iCloud data and backups sent over the Internet are encrypted. See Back up iPhone.
  • Share with your family: With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share iCloud storage on plans with 200 GB or more.
  • Synchronize mail, contacts, calendars, and more: Keep your mail, contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date across all your devices.Note: If you use iCloud to store your contacts and calendars, you can’t use iTunes to sync them with your computer.
  • Keep tabs on your browsing: See the Safari tabs you have open on your other iOS devices and Mac computers. See Browse the web.
  • Find your iPhone: Use the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device—or use the Find My iPhone web app on any Mac or PC—to locate your missing iPhone on a map, lock it remotely, suspend or remove the ability to pay using Apple Pay, play a sound, display a message, or erase all the data on it. Find My iPhone also includes Activation Lock, which requires your Apple ID and password to disable Find My iPhone, erase iPhone, or reactivate your device. See Find My iPhone.
  • Find your friends: Use Find My Friends to share your location with friends and family.
  • Store and access your passwords and credit card information: iCloud Keychain keeps passwords and credit card information up to date across all your designated devices.

With iCloud, you get a free email account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, photos and videos, and backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books don’t count against your available storage space. You can purchase additional storage right from your device.


Upgrade your iCloud storage. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Change Storage Plan. For information about upgrading your iCloud storage, see iCloud Help.
