Apple Adds 9 New Features to iCloud Website

Apple today updated its iCloud.com website, which is the way you can access your iCloud apps and settings from any web browser. With today's refresh, iCloud.com supports some of the features that have previously been introduced in iOS.

icloud update october 2024
There's now a Dark Mode option that will match your Mac's Light Mode or ‌Dark Mode‌ color scheme, plus a customizable homepage where you can select different colors for your background.

There's support for pinned notes, improved navigation in the Photos app, and a Shared View for iCloud Drive. Apple has a full list of what's new when you log into iCloud.com. Here's the list:

  • ‌Dark Mode‌
  • Customizable background
  • A refreshed design for the Calendar app and support for Hijri calendar.
  • Shared View for ‌iCloud Drive‌ that shows files that have been shared with you.
  • Option to jump to a month or year in ‌Photos‌ by clicking the calendar icon.
  • Option to modify date, time, and location of a photo from the info pane.
  • Option to display an album in the ‌Photos‌ tile on the iCloud.com homepage.
  • Important notes can be pinned to the top of the list in the ‌iCloud‌ Notes app.
  • In Reminders, new lists can be created and recurring reminders can be completed.

These new iCloud.com options should be available for all users as of now.

Apple Quietly Triples iCloud Mail Alias Limit to Nine

Monday October 5, 2026 5:15 am PDT by
Apple appears to have quietly tripled the number of iCloud Mail aliases users can create, increasing the limit from three to nine. The increase was first noticed last week by a Reddit user, and picked up shortly after by a member of the MacRumors forums. MacRumors can confirm the change is live at iCloud.com. The increased limit has not been mentioned by Apple, so it could conceivably be a...

Good job for the web team, but I wish iCloud would offer flexible pricing -- $4.99/month per 1 TB.

While at it, increase the video quality of HomeKit Secure Video recording.
I really hope I'm somehow wrong but I don't think Apple is ever going to improve iCloud storage tiers. They've already got way too many people paying for way more storage than they need, which works out very well for Apple.

The fact that they recently did update the tiers but only to add even more, higher end ones tells me that they know exactly what they are doing.

Now that they are a services first company that sells cameras that make lots of high quality pictures (and sometimes phone calls) they have no reason to cut into one of their most profitable products.

They forgot the most important one that they could password protect. One where you can look at your Messages in iCloud and delete them if should want to.

I don't usually use this, but it can be super handy in certain situations and it's great that they are developing it further.

I knew the smart money was on iCloud.com getting dark mode before a search feature. :rolleyes:

iCloud.com is so basic/archaic that I'm in shock Apple is not embarrassed by it. I cannot believe that towards the end of 2024, over a decade after launching the website and the reminders app, it cannot do basic functionality in the web such as being able to sort reminders. Inexcusable. And don't get me started with Mail on the web.
The thing is, it’s not meant to be at feature parity with the macOS, iOS, and iPadOS apps. It’s meant to be a fallback if you ever have to access something on e.g. a Windows PC. It’s not meant to be a replacement for the native apps, and it will likely never be at feature parity with the native versions of the apps.
