iCloud is Apple’s official website where you can create backups of your data. The backup helps you restore your personal information back to your iPhone when you reset your device or lose any important data.
Once you create your iCloud account using a valid email, you must enable your iPhone to tell the device as which apps must use iCloud to back up data. While configuring your device for backup on iCloud, you can use the available space (5 GB for free) on Apple’s cloud to store your data online.
You can save any type of data on your iCloud account including messages, mails, pictures etc. The benefit of storing your data on iCloud is that the data always remains there, even when you reset your iPhone. Apple removes the stored data from your iCloud account only when you erase it.
Note: When you set up a new iCloud account, you initially get 5 GB of storage space for free. If you want, you can buy additional storage from Apple.
