Make sure that your iPhone is connected to the internet and has a stable connection so that it will be able to access and communicate with Apple’s iCloud server. Otherwise, signing out from your iCloud account may not be successful as server errors are likely to occur.
What happens when you sign out of iCloud?
Any data stored in iCloud for that account will then be removed from your iPhone but remains in the iCloud server.
Before confirming the sign out process, you will be asked if you’d like to keep a copy of your files on your device. Depending on your preference, you may still be able to access any of your files straight on your device.
Access to iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, HomeKit Secure Video support, and custom email domain will no longer be accessible on the iPhone for the signed out account.
You are also automatically signed out of the App Store, iMessage and FaceTime when you sign out of iCloud.
However, you would still be able to keep using the App Store by signing in with your Apple ID.
For iMessage and FaceTime services, you can use your phone number as an alternative.
And that’s how you sign out of iCloud on the new iPhone 14 smartphone.
