Some Basic Knowledge of iCloud

iCloud is a powerful online cloud service created by Apple where you can store contacts, photos and other files from your iOS devices. Nowadays, iCloud allows its users to save data from third-party devices and sync them to iOS devices.

Why Should We Use iCloud Backup

Sometimes, your Apple devices run rather slow due to the full memory card. In this case, back up the photos with iCloud should be the best way to make more space. What’s more, It will be better if you can save your memorable photos to iCloud in case of any loss. So, this time, let’s learn some basic knowledge of how to back up photos with iCloud.

I’m going to take iPhone as an example.

Step 1

Firstly make sure you have already installed iCloud on your iPhone. Then, click on the setting button on the interface.

Step 2

In the opened list, press your Apple ID avatar and choose iCloud.

Step 3
