Important! In the same menu, settings will be available related to the automatic synchronization of certain content between your devices connected to the same Apple account. Naturally, do not forget to log in to the phone using the account you created.

All other actions related to downloading updated content, transferring contacts, etc., will be performed by the system automatically, which is undoubtedly very convenient.

In conclusion, I would like to answer the eternal question of many inexperienced users: how much does it cost using iCloud... Initially, the service is provided free of charge - you have access to all the functionality, but the size of the cloud storage is only 5GB. If you need to increase the amount of allocated space, then this can be done for a certain amount, the list of which can be found on the icloud.com website (read how to clear the iCloud storage).

iPhone - powerful smartphone with a huge range of possibilities - here you have both a study and an entertainment center in one person. With the help of an i-gadget, the user solves a lot of different tasks and, of course, a lot of important, interesting, useful information... Of course, losing it overnight, losing it, breaking your phone or becoming a victim of theft, is very sad.

It is noteworthy that most of those who have at least once lost their faithful electronic assistant so unexpectedly do not regret the loss of a materially valuable object and the need to spend money on a new gadget (although Apple smartphones are by no means cheap), but the loss of important data. This is why it is imperative to back up all the information stored on your device.

Good modern technologies allow you to perform a backup in just two taps. The so-called cloud service - iCloud comes to the aid of Apple users. What is this "beast" and how to use it, we will talk in this article.

Cloud storage (or as modern users have romantically dubbed it - "cloud") is a collection of online servers distributed over a network on which a user can store a backup copy of important data.

Clouds are created by various companies, that is, in fact, the user, by sending information to the online storage, transfers his data to third parties, but, of course, on the basis of an agreement that they will be protected and inviolable.

What if the data from the cloud is stolen?

Should you be afraid for your data, since it is stored with a third party? In general, no more than for jewelry placed in a safe deposit box of some bank. Of course, information leakage can happen, but banks have been robbed for hundreds of years, but this does not mean that money needs to be kept in your apartment - it is still safer in a special institution.

iCloud is the official cloud storage for Apple technology users

The "assortment" of online storages is large today, but the owners of i-smartphones do not need to waste time to find the most reliable and convenient one, because it is already in every Apple device, its name is iCloud, using this service, you can be as calm as possible for your data.

What information does the cloud store?

Almost any type of data stored on your device can be backed up to iCloud, here's a complete list:

  • Music (including ringtones, TV shows and other audio material)
  • Video
  • Books
  • Applications and their data
  • Basic smartphone settings, including desktop settings
  • Messages (sent both via iMessages and in the usual way)

However, you may well limit this range, for more information on how to do this in the section "How to use iCloud?"

More than just storing data ...

Of course, the main option for iCloud on iPhones and other i-devices is to store information that is important to the user. However, if you have several Apple gadgets, you will probably appreciate the ability to synchronize information between them. This option gives you access to really cool features. Of course, all content (music, photos, etc.) will be present on all synchronized devices. But, look what we have with the fact that iCloud is able to remember application data ...

For example, your iPhone and iPad are synced via iCloud, which means that you can start playing a game on your smartphone, and then, well, if your smartphone is running low, for example, continue on iPad, and exactly from the place where you left off ...

Is it all free?

Of course, when you learn about such cool opportunities, the thought immediately arises that all this is not free. In part, the thought is correct. Apple generously provides the user with 5GB free space, and they are, in general, quite enough to store truly valuable data. But if you need more space, no one bothers you to buy it.

ICloud rates

  • 50 GB - 59 rubles per month
  • 200 GB - 149 rubles per month
  • 1 TB - 599 rubles per month

iTunes Match is another cool iCloud feature you have to pay for

iTunes Match is a service designed for music lovers to save money on music purchases. The service automatically analyzes the library of all music stored on the PC you work on when you connect the i-gadget to iTunes, looks for a copy in the store iTunes Store and downloads it (free!) to all Apple devices synced via iCloud in good quality with album cover and detailed information about the composition and the performer.

Thus, up to 25,000 tracks can be processed, and you will not pay anything for them, you will only need to pay for a subscription to the service - $ 25 per year. It is very convenient - you do not need to connect devices to a PC once again in order to throw off music, and for such convenience it is relatively inexpensive.

How do I use iCloud?

Well, now, in fact, about the most important thing - how to set up this wonderful service. Very simple! Follow the short instructions:

1 Open "Settings", we find the item iCloud - if you have not used the service before, you will need to log in. For authorization, use the Apple ID - the account that you created when initial setup i-gadget. 2 After authorization, a window for working with the cloud will appear in front of you - it is a list of types of information that you can store. Opposite each item is a slider. You just need to select the types of data that you want to store and activate the corresponding slider. 3 If you have a lot of space in iCloud, you can make all the sliders active, otherwise you will have to choose the most valuable one.

Several items on the iCloud menu deserve special attention, including iCloud Drive, Backup, Keychain Access, and Find my Phone. Let's see why you need to activate them.

iCloud Drive

Tap on the iCloud Drive item and you will find yourself in a new menu, which will list applications for which you can set to save data in the cloud, each program has its own slider. Activate the necessary ones and turn off the unnecessary ones.

Backup copy

By tapping on the line "Backup", you, again, will find yourself in a new menu. If you have never created a backup of information before, you must first click on the "Create a backup" link, and then activate the slider opposite the "Backup to iCloud" parameter, and then the backup will be performed whenever new information appears on your device. ...

Bunch of keys

This item is responsible for storing Safari passwords, activate it and you will not have to constantly enter account parameters for a particular personal account when working with the Apple browser.

Find my phone

Finally, Find my Phone is a very cool option. If your phone has been stolen and Find my Phone is turned on, you can perfectly “annoy” the intruder. How? And more on that in the next section.

How to recover data from iCloud?

Recovering data from iCloud on a new device is very easy. At the initial iPhone setup (or any other i-gadget) the setup assistant will ask you if you want to get a "clean" new device or you need to transfer all the information from the old one to it. To restore, of course, you need to choose the second option. Of course, for a successful transfer, you will need to provide the Apple ID of the old device.

If the smartphone is lost, there is no new one yet, and the data needs to be restored urgently, well, for example, to see an important phone number, take any PC and go to the iCloud.com website (in general, with mobile device This site can be accessed, but it is more convenient from a computer), enter your Apple ID information for authorization, and you will get access to all the information that was included in your backup.

The same site allows, if you are sure that the smartphone is stolen, as we said above, "annoy" the thief. If you have previously enabled the Find my Phone option on the device, then through iCloud.com you will have the opportunity to activate the "Lost Mode". After enabling it, the attacker will no longer be able to do anything with the gadget - it will be blocked, and your Apple ID data will be the password.

Let's summarize

So, now you know what the iCloud cloud service in the iPhone is and can appreciate the full power of its capabilities. And, as you may have noticed, you only need to create a backup once, then everything will be done for you. So don't be lazy and back up right now if you haven't already. Can you imagine how it will be a shame if you are too lazy today, forget tomorrow, and lose your device the day after tomorrow?
