What is Apple iCloud?

Apple Activation lock is a special way to protect your data. The purpose of iCloud is to ensure the security of all your personal data in case of theft or loss of the device.
This tool can be used to store documents, photos, contacts and other data, as well as to back it up.

Why do I disable Apple iCloud?

Although iCloud is very useful, there are a number of reasons why some people may want to disable it. For instance, you may not want to back up all iPhone data to iCloud or share photos with the world.
Another reason is to prevent data from syncing from your iPhone to other devices.
