    Note: Not all iCloud features are available in all countries or regions. Some iCloud features have minimum system requirements. See the Apple Support article Set up iCloud on all your devices.

  • You turned on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud: When you turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, you automatically turn off access to your data on the web, so you can only see Find My iPhone and iCloud Settings at iCloud.com. If you want to see all the apps and features on iCloud.com, you can turn on Access iCloud Data on the Web in iCloud settings on your device. (Advanced Data Protection for iCloud can remain on.) See the Apple Support article in the top-right corner of the iCloud.com window, then do one of the following:

    • Sign out from the browser you’re using now: Choose Sign Out.

    • Sign out from every browser where you’re currently signed in: Click iCloud Settings, click Sign Out Of All Browsers, then click Sign Out.
