What happens when you downgrade or cancel iCloud+

• If your iCloud storage exceeds your new storage plan capacity, iCloud won’t sync or update your information, and iCloud backups won’t be completed. iCloud starts syncing again and iCloud backups resume when you increase your storage capacity or delete information to make more space.

• If you downgrade to the free iCloud plan, you will no longer have access to iCloud+ features such as Hide My Email, Private Relay, Apple Invites and HomeKit Secure Video support.²

• If you pay for both Apple One and an iCloud+ plan, you can downgrade or cancel the iCloud+ plan and just use the iCloud+ plan included in Apple One. After you’ve selected Change Storage Plan, there may be additional steps before you can downgrade or cancel your storage.
