Apple has completely revamped the iCloud website with an all-new aesthetic and information layout. A redesign that we already saw appear in beta three weeks ago and which now available to everyone on icloud.com.
The the layout is fully customizable, since we can rearrange, add and remove the different sections of information according to what we prefer to see one or the other or according to what we give priority to. A curious design, it must be said, different from the others that we can see at Apple in terms of the presentation of information.
The “widgets” arrive on the web
The closest thing to the new iCloud would be an iPad with the various Calendar, Reminders, Mail, and other widgets placed on the screen at maximum size. A very useful resource to be able to see the status of our entire cloud at a glance. Without having to enter application by application, we see our latest photos and emails, the most recent files in iCloud, our calendar, reminders and notesetc
All widgets, to call them one way or another, are customizable, so we can place them where we need them and in a large or small size depending on the amount of information we want to see. To access any section that is not present on the main screen, just touch the button in the form of dots at the top right to see a list of all section shortcuts
This redesign also brings a clearer way to find out what our iCloud subscription includes. In addition to the information itself, at the bottom it is explained much more clearly which services we have subscribed to. We see our current plan, the space we occupy with the different types of folders, as well as the space occupied by the rest of the family. Finally, we have quick access to data recovery from files, calendars, contacts and others.
In addition to this last section, in the settings we can find all the details of the storage, the different functions and, above all, shortcuts to be able to perform actions directly on our devices. A system by which our devices show us a notification to, for example, activate iCloud Private Relay and take us directly to the corresponding section.
All in all, a very complete overhaul of the reference site to view our account information. A design that we can now enjoy both from our Apple devices and with those that are not and that we allows you to continue in our ecosystem with all the comforts. We enter icloud.com and that’s it.
