If you subscribe to Apple One and use a different Apple Account for iCloud

If you sign up for Apple One and use different Apple Accounts for iCloud and media subscriptions and purchases, you can apply the iCloud+ storage and features to the Apple Account of your choice.

Apple One bundles up to six Apple services into one subscription. If you have one Apple Account, all Apple One services will be applied to that account automatically.

If you have more than one Apple Account, the iCloud storage and features included with your Apple One subscription will be applied automatically to the Apple Account that you use for media purchases and subscriptions. To change this, go to Settings and choose a different account.

What happens when you apply your Apple One storage to the Apple Account you use with iCloud

If you’ve already subscribed to iCloud+

The storage included with Apple One will replace your current storage plan. Your existing iCloud+ plan will be cancelled.

If you upgrade your iCloud+ plan after subscribing to Apple One

The storage that’s included with Apple One is moved back to the Apple Account that you use for media purchases and subscriptions.
