The iCloud account is sacred to me, and it's completely different from the software store account. These accounts are separate on two computers. Each account has separate mail and special settings, why? Because sometimes I have to share a program store account with someone in my family, for example if I buy an application, I may put the software store account on my wife or children’s phone in order for me to download this application to them. But the iCloud account, if I share it, then this means that (contacts - photos - passwords - notes - calendars ... and others) coincide and my device becomes like a playground in which others play ... so read this article well and know how to share with others the software store account without any problems.

ICloud account


Software store account

It is the account that enables you to download applications from the store, whether free or paid, and people usually trade this account between them and those who trust in order to download applications, for example a person buys a paid application and gives his account to his wife or one of his friends to download the same application without having to pay its value again.

Although it is useful to share the software store account in exchanging paid applications, as we mentioned, it carries disadvantages that you should pay attention to:

1

In the event that you have a credit card added to the account, one of those who owns your account may buy paid applications, even by mistake, and they will be deducted from your card, and the possibility of this happening is very high.

2

When updates are issued to the applications that your friends and family have downloaded from your account, the store will usually ask them for the password for the account from which the application is downloaded.


Tips for sharing the account safely

1

It is preferable to keep your account for yourself and your family because they are close to you and you can manage the devices in which your account is added to the App Store well, and if you want to provide someone with a paid application from your account, log in to your account from his device, download the applications, and then exit again.

2

You can set restrictions for downloading in devices that carry your account, especially your children's devices, by going to (Settings> General> Restrictions> Enabling Restrictions). Set a four-digit password, then you can stop purchasing from within applications or even install applications from its basis or delete them except with a password, which is What I highly recommend for your kids' devices that have your App Store account.

3

If you are going to give a friend an account, do not provide them with answers to secret questions. On first purchase attempt, he will ask for answers. Without knowing the secret answers, he will only be able to download free or previously purchased apps.

4

Further to the previous point, if your friend asks you to buy a specific application, do not purchase from his device so that you do not answer the secret questions on it, so Apple does not require it again, but make the purchase from your device.


ICloud account

iCloud

It is the account that specializes in managing Apple's cloud service and then takes a backup copy of your data (contacts - photos - passwords - notes - calendars ... and others) and synchronizes this data between all Apple devices that have the same account. You can manage your data from the website iCloud.com. It is no secret to you that the cloud account is useful in various uses, for example, as soon as you take a picture on the iPhone, you will find it immediately on the iPad and Mac. Also, if you ever lost your iPad device, for example, and bought a new device, all you have to do is log in to your new device with an iCloud account, and you will find all your data in an old iPad that appeared in the new iPad even the background image and applications in the same order they were in.

Well, from all this we conclude that the iCloud account is a completely personal account that you should not give to anyone, and yes, you can stop the synchronization of contacts, photos, etc., but what is the use of an iCloud account at the time !?


Disadvantages of giving an iCloud account to others:

1

If you give an iCloud account to anyone, every photo you take may go to their device and vice versa, and your contacts get mixed up with their contacts. Than it may promise It is a breach of privacy and may cause problems.

2

Having your account on someone else's device means that their data will take from your space on the iCloud account that you badly need, as the iCloud account is free with a capacity of 5 GB and if you want more, you have to pay, and in both cases this space should be yours alone.

3

Anyone with whom you share a cloud account can find out about your location through the phone finding service, which is a major breach of privacy.


Tips for avoiding problems

1

Make the iCloud account your own and do not give it to anyone, even if this person is your children or your wife, as this may lead to mixing of your contacts and other things.

2

Create an iCloud account yourself and do not let someone create it for you so that he will see your password and may use it for unpleasant things, especially shop owners.

3

If you are someone who gives the software store account to others, never use it as a cloud account, so that the other does not add it to their device, even by mistake.

You can share the software store account but be careful not to share an iCloud account.
