New features for developers in iOS 10.3
Hi Hi! As a rule, the details of Apple ID and iCloud accounts on iOS devices change very rarely - they are registered, entered once and that’s it. Although, even if a change is required, this is done very easily () and, usually, no problems arise. But it's in our hands Apple technology! This means that sometimes unusual cases can happen... I’ll tell you about one of these now.
So, they asked me to free the device from accounts. No problem! The login and password are known - you log in and leave. The procedure takes a couple of minutes. But when I opened the settings, I saw the whole essence of the task - the iCloud menu on this iPhone was not active (the icon and inscription are grayed out) and it was impossible to click on it. What a surprise!:)
I even took a screenshot - I knew it would be useful.
Well, I think there is some kind of blocking - you must first sign out of your Apple ID. I open the iTunes Store and App Store settings, and there everything is the same - the name account there is, but it is written in gray and simply cannot be pressed. This is some kind of nonsense, what kind of eternal linking to an account is this??? Why can't I change my account?
The first impulse was to “cut it off” and - the device was intended for sale anyway, so why not reset it? But then it became interesting (and the topic for the article turned out to be quite good) and I decided to look into it.
And here's how to make the iCloud and Apple ID menu active again.
For devices running iOS 11 and lower
Everything is very simple:
We return to the main menu and... Hurray! The gray color disappeared and the icons became colored :)
For devices running iOS 12 and older
Apple doesn't sit still and constantly changes the settings menu. Thank you very much to her - she doesn’t let you get bored.
In iOS 12, “Restrictions” was removed from the main menu. Removed completely? Nothing like that - they just moved it to another place.
So, if your device running iOS 12 (and later) cannot change the credentials iCloud recordings and Apple ID (or log out of them), then you need to do this:
As you can see, everything is very simple and fast - the only possible problem that can happen is not knowing the password for the restrictions menu. In this case, you will have to do something drastic - connect to iTunes and restore the software. But this, so to speak, is for the most extreme case... I hope that it will not happen. Updated! There is an easier way - .
P.S. If the article helped, please reciprocate - like and click on the buttons social networks! It’s not hard for you (one click), but it will be nice for me :)
P.S.S. Still have questions? There are always comments - feel free to write!
If you just need to find the hide app, go to the second title, it's about icloud ios 10. When iCloud Drive was first introduced as a standalone app, starting with iOS 9, it was the default hide app; You should have sought advice in the app settings for those looking to allow the iCloud Drive app to appear on the home screen.
With iOS 10, Apple got rid of the cover feature for iCloud Drive in the app settings; Since you will currently be able to remove built-in apps on your iPhone and iPad, having the extra choice in Settings will simply be overkill.
So, in case you have iCloud Drive hidden in iOS 9. If you want it to be in iOS 10, you will be able to simply show it in settings; If you want to remove the application, go to firmware 10, it is possible there.
2017 device updates from Apple - iOS 11, iPad 10.5, Wingnut AR, HomePod and iMac pro - this is in Lately. could have been closed previews developers or public betas for iPhone, iPad and Mac. (Unfortunately, no public beta for Apple, Watch, or tvOS this year.) While betas include new features, they also include previews that can save you from using your iPhone as standard. iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac.
Doesn't seem designed for regular use on one software. This is why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews, as well as using public betas with a warning. In case you rely on your strength, look forward to the final launch. You can already install the new iOS 11.
How to download the iCloud Drive app on iPhone and iPad in iOS 10

Why do you need to sign out of iCloud?
There can be many reasons for leaving iCloud; below we list the most common ones.
1. Planned transfer of the device to the new owner(sale, gift, etc.).
2. Switch to a new account Apple entry ID.
3. Delivery of the device to service center (most service centers only accept “empty” iCloud for service and repair).
Signing out of iCloud doesn't remove data from iCloud
First, you need to decide what to do with the data that is stored on the device itself - leave it or delete it.
It is worth noting that if, before exiting iCloud, synchronization (of) applications with iCloud was enabled on the device (for example, Contacts, Notes, Reminders, Calendars, files in iCloud Drive, etc.), then all data from these applications still remains in Apple cloud, which means they can be easily restored on a new device. To do this, just enter Apple data ID at the very top of the main screen of the Settings application.
To make sure your data, such as Notes or Contacts, is safe on Apple's servers, go to icloud.com on your computer and open the appropriate web app.
If all the data is in place, then you can safely delete everything from the device when you exit iCloud. Again, when you sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac (assuming all apps have been synced), all data remains in iCloud.
If you enter your previous account information again, for example, all this data will again end up on your gadget.

3. Exit from the Store: When you select this item, you will only exit electronic stores Apple (App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Music, etc.).
Select the option you want, enter the password to turn off Find My iPhone, and then tap Go out.
