Setting up iCloud on iPhone - how to use Apple's cloud

With Apple's iCloud, you have the ability to store your photos, videos and other files in Apple's central storage system and sync them with all your devices. Media sharing is also no problem with this useful feature. But to do so, you first need to set up iCloud.

How to set up iCloud?

In order to use iCloud, you need an iTunes account. Furthermore, you should make sure that you have the latest iOS version installed on your iPhone. To do this, simply go to the settings under "General" > "Software update". If everything is up to date here, nothing stands in the way of setting up iCloud.

1. Go to the top of the settings on "Sign in to iPhone" or on your account name.
2. Now sign in if you are not yet logged in. Do you not yet have an account, then tap on "No Apple ID yet or have you forgotten".
3. After logging in, you will see an overview of the data you have stored with Apple.
4. Now tap here on "iCloud".
5. Now you get information about your iCloud account. Beispielweise sehen Sie, wie viel Speicher Sie mit welchen Daten belegt haben und welche Apps iCloud verwenden.
6. Möchten Sie die iCloud mit einer App nutzen, dann legen Sie für die entsprechende App einfach den Schalter um.
