MUSIC


Apple still maintains two separate content services: the
iTunes Store, where you purchase tracks to download to
your device, and Music, a subscription service that gives
you streaming access to a full library. To combine both
with music you’ve imported from other sources, use
iCloud Music Library, available with a Music or iTunes
Match subscription. (The latter is cheaper and brings
similar features to users who aren’t interested
in streaming: see bit.ly/mfsubitm.) With a subscription
active, you’ll see an iCloud Music Library option in
Settings > Music or, on a Mac or PC, in Preferences in the
iTunes app. See bit.ly/mficmlam.

MESSAGES


You won’t find Messages at iCloud.com — it’s only available
in the Messages app on a device associated with your
Apple ID. As we’ve mentioned (see page 24), it’s not
dependent on iCloud, but if you enable Messages in your
iCloud settings it’ll keep copies of all your conversations
in the cloud (still encrypted and with the keys available
only to you). Normally, messages are included in iCloud
Backups, but if you enable iCloud for Messages they’re
kept centrally and omitted from device backups. With
iCloud enabled, older messages may be downloaded
from iCloud when needed, like other synced data, rather
than kept in full on each device, which can save space.
