With plans starting at $ 3.34 per month, iCloud + - Apple's premium subscription service - offers additional features, plus extra storage space so you can store your environment and documents in the cloud.
Although the signature flagship is just extra storage - which can be from GB to 2 TB, depending on the plan you choose - there are other nice extra features in the service, such as Private relay ("Private Relay") - which hides your IP address and Safari browsing activities, preventing websites from following you when you visit - Secure Video service enhancements. Apple HomeKit - which stores records from security cameras connected to the HomeKit Home application - and Hide my email ("Hide my email"), which we'll look at below.
When you set up and enable the Hide My Email feature in Apple iCloud +, you can use a single, random, automatically generated email address to redirect incoming messages to their original address, which will remain secure and hidden. This way, untrusted servers will not be able to access your real personal email address.
