Common issues
What happens to my data if I downgrade to free?
If your iCloud storage exceeds 5GB, new data won't sync and backups may stop. Download important files before downgrading. Apple gives you warnings before deleting data.
Can I cancel iCloud+ without losing my photos?
Yes — download your photos to your device or Mac first. Use iCloud.com to download in bulk. After downgrading, photos already on your device remain safe.
