How to remove iCloud.

What Is iCloud?

Ever wonder what happens to your backups? These are kept in your iCloud account, a cloud storage service provided by Apple for customers to safely store their data, apps, and documents while maintaining their privacy.

You are prompted to create an iCloud account or sign in if you already have one while setting up a new iPhone or iPad. This will allow you to recover your data from a backup. Everything you use your iPhone for, including photos, movies, apps, data, audio, etc., is stored remotely in iCloud. In addition, iCloud can assist you in finding your missing iPhone.

Why is Removing iCloud important?

iPhones are linked to their owners’ password-protected iCloud accounts, which can only be accessed and deleted by the account’s owner. So, you must delete your iCloud account from your iPhone before preparing it for a trade-in, selling it privately, or simply giving it to a family member. By deleting your iCloud, you’ll protect your data and prevent unauthorised users from accessing it. Secondly, your gadget can be quickly tested and your order can be executed without any delays when it gets to us. Regrettably, we frequently get smartphones that have been iCloud locked, which reduces the value of the phone to £0 because it cannot be tested or sold further while being iCloud protected.

1. Navigate to Settings from your home screen and tap on General.
2. Scroll down and tap on Reset.

3. Tap on Erase All Settings and Content and Continue. Follow the required steps to enter your iPhone’s passcode, confirm your Apple ID logins to turn your iCloud off and then Erase iPhone.
