Additional Notes
iCloud+
- The downgrade or cancellation takes effect after your current subscription billing period ends.
- If your iCloud storage exceeds your new plan, iCloud won't sync or update your information and iCloud backups won't complete until you add storage or free up space.
- On the free plan you lose iCloud+ features such as Hide My Email, Private Relay, Apple Invites and HomeKit Secure Video support.
- If you pay for both Apple One and an iCloud+ plan, you can cancel the iCloud+ plan and use the iCloud+ plan included in Apple One.
Google One
- Your Google One storage and benefits continue until the end of the billing cycle after you cancel.
- After cancelling, you and your family members keep the default storage of up to 15 GB at no charge but lose the additional storage and premium subscriptions.
- If you are over the default storage after cancelling, you will see restrictions — for example, Gmail can't send or receive messages.
- If your membership is sponsored by Metro by T-Mobile (U.S. only), it ends as soon as you cancel.
