iCloud: What is iCloud?
What is iCloud –
iCloud securely stores your photos, videos, documents, music, apps, and moreāand keeps them updated across all your devices. It lets you easily share photos, calendars, locations, and more with friends and family. Also, you can even use iCloud to help find your device if it is lost.
How iCloud works –
After you setup iCloud on your iOS device or Mac, you sign in to iCloud on your other devices and computers using the same Apple ID (you only need to do this once). After that, changes you make on one device appear on all your other devices. For example, if you create a new album in Photos on your Mac, the album automatically appears in the Photos app on iCloud.com on Mac and Windows browsers, your iOS devices, your Apple Watch, and your Apple TV.
