How to Cancel iCloud Storage Before Your Next Bill

Apple's iCloud enables users to store, access, view, and edit their files across all of their devices. iCloud comes with a Family Sharing plan that allows you and up to five family members to share access to music, books, apps, and other features. The first 5 GB of storage is free of charge with all Apple devices. However, an upgrade to iCloud+ with more storage and premium features is available for a monthly subscription fee.

iCloud + plans are available with 50GB, 200 GB, or 2TB of storage. You can easily upgrade from the free 5 GB plan to one of the premium plans from any of your devices and even from a Windows PC. Following the upgrade, you are billed monthly for the premium storage service.

After using iCloud+, some users may decide they no longer require the extra storage and wish to cancel their subscription. With the help of DoNotPay, you can easily and quickly cancel Apple iCloud+ so you no longer incur the monthly fee.

Use DoNotPay's Virtual Credit Card to Avoid Charges After a Free Trial

Apple offers a one-month free trial for each of the iCloud+ upgrades. However, you will automatically be charged once the trial ends. Many users often forget to cancel before the subscription kicks in and are subsequently charged for the subscription. To prevent this from happening, DoNotPay offers a virtual credit card which can't be charged when the trial runs out.

Here's how it works:

• The DoNotPay app is used to generate virtual credit card information. The program uses an algorithm to generate a random credit number that can be used to sign up for free trials. While it's connected to your real credit card, the virtual card has fake information, including an expiration date and CVV.
• The virtual credit card allows you to conduct a transaction without giving away your real bank information. You can set a maximum charge limit, preventing the card from being charged automatically.

At the end of the Apple iCloud+ free trial, Apple will be unable to charge you for an automatic subscription renewal. The card will be rejected and you won't incur an iCloud+ monthly subscription charge.
