FAQ

When does the cancellation take effect?

After your current subscription billing period ends.

What happens if my files exceed the new limit?

iCloud stops syncing and updating, and iCloud backups stop completing, until you free space or increase storage. Download or remove content first.

What do I lose on the free plan?

iCloud+ features such as Hide My Email, Private Relay, Apple Invites and HomeKit Secure Video support; availability varies by country or region.

I pay for Apple One. Can I cancel only iCloud+?

Yes. You can cancel only the iCloud+ plan and keep the storage included in Apple One.
