If you accidentally delete or overwrite a file or contact that's synced to iCloud, you can restore it from the Recovery portal on iCloud.com. This feature works across many Apple apps, including Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Photos, Notes, and Reminders, as well as Drive, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. When you restore an old version of your data, the current version is archived so you can revert back if you change your mind. Deleted files can be recovered within 30 days.
Set up email addresses on a custom domain for your family or business
One benefit of an iCloud+ subscription is Apple's Hide My Email, which allows you to create unique, random aliases to keep your real email address private. These addresses forward to your primary inbox, and replies appear to come from the alias rather than your personal email. There's no limit on how many Hide My Email addresses you can generate, so you can use them for newsletter sign-ups, online shopping, and any other credential you may want to deactivate if you start getting spammed. Hide My Email is compatible with Safari, Mail, Apple Pay, and some third-party apps.
Add a legacy contact to create a digital estate planning vault
[Your Name] > Sign-In & Security > Legacy Contact and follow the prompts. That person will need the access key you generate and your death certificate to take over your accounts.
Set up a shared photo library to automatically add vacation photos from your main camera roll
Sorting through photos and adding them to a shared album after a vacation can feel like a huge project—but iCloud can do this work for you in real time if your friends and family have iPhones with Bluetooth enabled and are logged into their Apple Accounts. Set up an iCloud Shared Photo Library in the Photos app under Collections > [Your account] > Shared Library and add up to five participants. Then, from Shared Library, tap Sharing from Camera > Share Automatically. If you take photos when other album participants are nearby, they will be uploaded to the shared album.
Note that as of iOS 27 and macOS 27, Apple now supports adding Windows and Android users to iCloud Shared Albums. However, temporary links are still a good solution if you don't want to share whole albums.
Enable low data mode to keep backups from draining your battery or network usage allotment
Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Data Mode.
Storage > Backups > [This iPhone] to manage app backups.
Use built-in storage cleanup tools instead of upgrading for more space
[Your Account] > iCloud > Recommended For You to find suggestions for freeing up storage space. This may include deleting inactive backups or reviewing your files or photos and videos, which are categorized by duplicates, screenshots, and videos (the content you're most likely to be able to offload). If you don't see these options under Recommended For You, go back to iCloud > Storage and select the app you want to clean up. Finally, check what's included in your device backups, and disable any apps you don't need under iCloud > Storage > Backups.
