What is iCloud?

iCloud is an online storage service, which is also where we manage our personal accounts when using all Apple applications and services. iCloud accounts are usually used to back up and synchronize photos, videos, contacts, etc. between devices such as: iPhone, iPad, Macbook or Windows computers. 

What features does iCloud have?

- Backup and store data with iCloud Drive: In addition to the device's memory capacity, when you log in to iCloud, you will have an additional 5 GB for free (if you want more capacity, you have to buy it) to store images, videos, documents, notes, etc. Back up device backups, giving you peace of mind that you won't lose data even if the device is damaged or lost.

- Find iPhone: When your iPhone is lost, iCloud's "Find My Devices" function will help you locate the device, automatically ring it, remotely lock it, and even erase all data on the device to prevent data from being stolen.

- Share data resources: Help your family members or friends (who also use Apple devices) to share applications purchased by one person. Or buy applications and pay with another person's credit card.

- iCloud Keychain: Important confidential information such as passwords, personal information, credit card accounts, etc. will be synchronized and updated on devices using the same iCloud account, helping you manage this information better.
