When I created Apple-ID on iPhone (iOS 15) and then went to "Settings > Account name", there was "off" in iCloud line.

Then I tapped this line and followed instructions to create iCloud binding for the Apple-ID now knowing what will come next.

What came next is that there is constantly "5 GB" displayed in iCloud line and I can't turn it off again.

All the instructions on removing iCloud from iPhone found by me in Internet suggest to sign out from Apple-ID. But I do not want to sign off from Apple-ID! I just want the original state with "iCloud ..... off". Please help.

In addition to the On/Off state for iCloud, there are also individual On/Off sliders for every service (or app) that makes use of iCloud.

So if your concern is about putting data in the cloud, simply make sure all those services/apps are off.

  • I am concerned that these switches are turned on by default for every newly installed application and some "system backups" cannot be turned off at all.

Use Apple ID without iCloud on your iPhone:

  1. Sign out of Apple ID in Settings (incl. iCloud)
  2. Sign in to Apple ID in the App Store (NOT in Settings!)
