Manage Apple ID and iCloud settings on iPhone

Your Apple ID is the account you use for just about everything you do with Apple—including storing your content in iCloud, streaming from Apple Music, and buying content from the iTunes Store, the App Store, and Apple Books. On your iPhone, you can sign in to all Apple services with a single Apple ID and password. It’s best to have only one Apple ID.

Use iCloud to securely store your photos, videos, documents, music, apps, and more—and keep them updated across all your devices. With iCloud, you can easily share photos, calendars, locations, and more with friends and family. You can even use iCloud to help you find your iPhone if you lose it.

iCloud provides you with 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 upgrade your iCloud storage right from iPhone.

Note: Some iCloud features have minimum system requirements. iCloud may not be available in all regions, and iCloud features may vary by region.

If you didn’t sign in during setup, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings .

  2. Tap Sign in to your iPhone.

  3. Enter your Apple ID and password.
