Last updated on August 27, 2016 By Serhat Kurt 9 Comments

iCloud allows users to store /share data (such as music, photos, mail etc). You can access the data you have stored in iCloud by signing in to the iCloud.com website from a computer web browser, Windows or Mac. Because web access to iCloud.com requires a desktop web browser.

However, when you try to sing in to the iCloud.com web site from your iPhone or iPad, you will see the following screen:

This is because Apple does not want you to access the site from an iOS device because you can sing in to your iCloud account by going to Settings > iCloud where you can easily turn on and off various iCloud features and services.
