Cancel your iCloud+ plan without an Apple device

If you no longer have your Apple device but you need to cancel your iCloud+ subscription, learn how to do it online.

What happens when you downgrade or cancel iCloud+

• If your iCloud storage exceeds your new storage plan capacity, iCloud won't sync or update your information, and iCloud backups won't complete. iCloud starts syncing again and iCloud backups resume when you increase your storage capacity or delete information to make more space.

• If you downgrade to the free iCloud plan, you will no longer have access to iCloud+ features like Hide My Email, Private Relay, Apple Invites, and HomeKit Secure Video support.²

• If you pay for both Apple One and an iCloud+ plan, you can downgrade or cancel the iCloud+ plan and just use the iCloud+ plan included in Apple One. After you select Change Storage Plan, there might be additional steps before you can downgrade or cancel your storage.
