it’s worthwhile reviewing its list
(fave.co/3GYmXxt) of what you
can’t access on a phone, tablet,
or computer after signing out, too.
That includes Apple Pay, Continuity
and Voice Memos.
If you later sign back into iCloud
from the same device, your operating
system will offer to merge data or
replace it. Once again, choose wisely:
iCloud tracks data fairly carefully, so
your newest versions of each contact,
calendar entry, photo and other data
should be retained in a merge. But if
you’ve made extensive changes on a
logged-out device to items that could
be synced, there’s a potential some
might be overwritten.
