Sign out of iCloud on your devices

If you want to stop using iCloud on one of your devices, learn how to sign out and what happens when you sign out.

What happens when you sign out of iCloud on your device

You can sign out of iCloud to stop using iCloud and its related services on your device. These services are listed below. Before signing out, make sure that you’re comfortable having these services turned off. If you only want to stop using some iCloud features, you can change your iCloud settings instead of signing out of iCloud.

  • Find My

When you sign out, any information stored in iCloud remains available in iCloud. That information will be removed from your device unless you choose to keep a copy of that data when prompted. To help prevent data loss, make sure that you have an up-to-date iCloud backup, and if you recently made changes to content synced with iCloud, wait before signing out, or check iCloud.com or another device to make sure that your changes have synced.

If you have iCloud+ and you sign out of iCloud on your device, you lose access to iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, HomeKit Secure Video support, and custom email domain on that device.2
