The 4 iCloud Hacks Every Apple Store Employee Loves Because They Make Your iPhone Run Like Brand New

Optimize iCloud Storage

By enabling the "Optimize Storage" option in iCloud settings, Wise says your iPhone will automatically optimize storage by keeping lower-resolution photos and videos on your device while storing the original high-resolution versions in iCloud. “This helps to free up space on your iPhone without compromising the quality of your media files,” he adds.

Use iCloud Keychain for Password Management

“iCloud Keychain allows you to securely store and autofill your passwords across all your Apple devices,” Wise says. “By enabling iCloud Keychain in your settings, you can conveniently manage your login credentials without the need to remember or repeatedly enter them.” 

Best of all: this not only saves time but also enhances the security of your accounts.

Enable iCloud Drive for File Access

iCloud Drive enables seamless access to your files across all your Apple devices, Wise says. “By storing your files in iCloud Drive, you can access them from your iPhone, Mac, or iPad and work on them effortlessly,” he adds. “This improves productivity by ensuring you have access to important documents, presentations, or any other files you may need while on the go.”

Use iCloud Photo Library for Seamless Photo Management

iCloud Photo Library automatically syncs your photos and videos across all your devices, Wise reveals. “By enabling this feature, you can easily manage and organize your photo library, create albums, and have instant access to your entire collection from any device,” he says. “This hack improves convenience and ensures that your memories are securely backed up.”

If you didn’t already know it, iCloud is a valuable tool — one that can do even more to add convenience to your life than you previously thought.
