To change your iCloud settings on a Mac, navigate through your system settings and access the iCloud section. Here's a breakdown of the steps:
- Open System Settings: Click the Apple menu () in the top-left corner of your screen and select "System Settings".
- Access iCloud: In the System Settings window, click on your name at the top of the sidebar. If you are not signed in, click "Sign in" and enter your Apple ID credentials (email/phone number and password).
- Navigate to iCloud Settings: After clicking your name, click "iCloud". You might need to click "See All" to view all available iCloud options and settings.
Within the iCloud settings, you can then manage various aspects of your iCloud account, including:
- iCloud Storage: View your storage usage and manage your plan.
- Apps Using iCloud: Choose which apps sync data with iCloud (e.g., Photos, Contacts, Calendar, iCloud Drive, Mail, Notes, Reminders, Safari).
- iCloud Features: Configure settings for features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and Custom Email Domain.
- iCloud Backup: Manage iCloud Backups for your devices.
- Advanced Data Protection: Enable end-to-end encryption for your iCloud data.
Remember to save any changes you make to your iCloud settings. Changes will then sync across your devices connected to the same Apple ID.
