Apple has released a major update to iCloud.com, changing the look and adding More customization features and other productivity improvements. After the launch of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, Apple wanted to update iCloud.com to match the native app experience.
Many iCloud users use the iCloud.com site to access their documents, notes, emails, calendars, etc. from any computer. In fact, it is one of the best ways to have iCloud on Windows or on a “guest” computer, such as at the office, at the home of a family member, friend, etc.

One of the most notable new features is the arrival of dark mode on iCloud.com, after years of waiting (remember that dark mode arrived in iOS 13). From now on we can enjoy a more comfortable viewing experience during night sessions. The site will automatically adapt to your device settings, alternating between light and dark modes according to our tastes.
