What is iCloud+?
iCloud+ gives you everything iCloud offers plus premium features including iCloud Private Relay (beta), Hide My Email, HomeKit Secure Video support, and all the storage you need for your data.
To learn how to get iCloud+, see Upgrade to iCloud+ and manage your subscription. For information about plans and pricing, see the Apple Support article iCloud+ plans and pricing.
iCloud+ features
When you upgrade to iCloud+, you get access to the following features:
iCloud Private Relay: Private Relay (beta) is an internet privacy service that hides your IP address in Safari and protects your unencrypted traffic. When it’s on, you can browse the web in a more secure and private way.
Hide My Email: Create unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal inbox so you can receive email without having to share your personal email address.
HomeKit Secure Video: Connect your home security cameras in the Home app to record your footage and view it from anywhere, while keeping it private and secure.
Custom Email Domain: Personalize your iCloud Mail email address with a custom domain name. You can invite your family members to use the same domain with their iCloud Mail accounts.
Note: Not all features are available in all countries or regions. iCloud Private Relay and Hide My Email require a device with iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey 12, or later. For more information, see the Apple Support article System requirements for iCloud.
Get more iCloud storage
iCloud+ includes additional iCloud storage. You can choose an iCloud+ plan with 50 GB, 200 GB, or 2 TB of storage.
You can use iCloud to securely store your photos, files, and more in the cloud, and access them on all your devices. You can also back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iCloud, so your backups are always available if you need to restore an existing device or set up a new one. See What you can do with iCloud storage.
iCloud+ and your family
When you set up Family Sharing, you can share your iCloud+ subscription with members of your Family Sharing group. When family members accept, they get instant access to iCloud+ features and additional storage. See Use iCloud with your family.
