What should be considered before deleting an iCloud account?

There are a number of key aspects that every user should know when doing such an account deletion. Since you will proceed with the deletion, this implies that there will be a loss of relevant information as long as there is no backup of it, to be more specific:

files will be lost

iCloud has various storage advantages , where you can upload and/or download any type of file you need. However, when you delete your account on this platform, absolutely all the information you have stored on it will be lost.

That is to say, those photos that you have uploaded, videos, music, reading files, in which all the data recorded up to that moment, will be permanently deleted and with no possibility of recovery will be lost.

Losing access to platforms

In order to access a platform and have each of the functions and privileges that it offers us as users, an account is necessary, whether personal, business or of any other type.

At the time of deleting your account, you lose full access to said platform and you will not have the services and/or functions that it offers. Therefore, in order to recover all this access and benefit , it is necessary to create a new account with an email that is not registered on the platform.

You will not receive messages or calls

This does not mean that the device will be unusable, since it will continue to operate normally, but it will have the limitation that it will not be able to receive calls or messages through the service of this platform, the rest, if it is possible to have the traditional services that a telephone line gives us.

How do you back up files from an iCloud account?

The steps to follow are so simple that we can say that it is as easy as unsubscribing and deleting an account from any application:

• Go to the settings of your phone and then tap on the name you have chosen, that is, tap on the Apple ID.
• After you’re there, you’re going to tap on the iCloud option, followed by the iCloud Backup option.
• Here you will see several options, you just have to press the iCloud Backup button to activate the service.
• Here you can choose the configuration of the backups: the date or the frequency of the same, if it will be done with a WiFi connectionor with mobile data, etc.

In case you have the need to back up to iCloud right now, you have the option to do it manually. For the rest, that’s all you have to do, of course, the only thing you’ll need is an internet connection, either from a home wireless network, or from mobile data, although the latter involves an extra charge to your monthly rate.

You can delete accounts that you have registered in your phone from the same system settings. Although you want to delete a Facebook account from your phone, but keeping the account on the platform, you can do it in a few steps.
