iCloud activation prompt in Settings for storage upgrade

It’s promoting me when I open settings to “ Activate ICloud, an ICloud storage upgrade is ready to be used for your Apple account” I’m using 92 out of 200g.

Hi there


Please try this

Restart Your Device: Turn your iPhone completely off and back on to refresh the iOS settings cache. 

Toggle Airplane Mode: Turn Airplane mode on for 30 seconds, then turn it off to reset network handshakes with Apple's servers. 

Verify Current Tier: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud and check the top storage graph. If it correctly displays your limit as 200 GB, the prompt is just a ghost notification.

Check for Pending Terms: Go to Settings > [Your Name]. If a prompt asks you to accept new Apple Terms and Conditions, accept them to dismiss background upgrade flags. 

Sign Out and Back In: If the notification remains persistent, sign out of your Apple Account and sign back in to force a full account state sync.
