What’s new in iCloud+
It’s been a while since Apple did anything significant with iCloud, and it’s questionable whether the new features merit the addition of the ‘+’ to its name. Nevertheless, they are welcome. Perhaps the most important is Private Relay which encrypts traffic from your device when you’re using Safari and routes it through two relays so that no can see your IP address, location or web browsing activity. Hide My Email, which is built into Mail, Safari, and iCloud settings, enables you to create ‘throwaway’ email addresses to use when you sign up for newsletters or enter competitions online, to avoid giving out your main address.
The third part of iCloud+ is storage for recordings from HomeKit security cameras.
The storage tiers in iCloud now include an allowance specifically for these recordings.
