Confusing 'iCloud storage upgrade is ready' message

Update: I contacted Apple Support about this. They told me it’s a cosmetic issue that doesn’t affect iCloud storage functionality. Apple is aware of it, and their engineering team is investigating and working on removing the notification. According to support, we can continue using iCloud as usual while waiting for a fix. They didn’t provide a timeline.

Excellent job troubleshooting this!

To the OP and ALL those Affected:

Spread the word on this to Apple. With so many replies, Apple Support needs to see this thread for themselves.

Report this to Apple:

Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, reporting it as a bug.  Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what issues reside, and what needs to be fixed. These are just user-to-user forums. You are NOT speaking with Apple here. Apple barely reads these forums in their own will and time. No one here has access to your account (and that is a GOOD thing, BTW).

1. Go Here: Feedback - iCloud - Apple
2. Select: "Storage" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that this all started after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread.
4. Proceed from there as necessary

Under your iCloud settings, go to Media & Purchases, log out, then log back in. That fixes the red badge icon appearing.

I contacted Apple Support too and the told me that can be an issue with my family members, I have the 200gb subscription and they do not finish the setup of icloud from their iphones. Do you really think that could be that or is just a cosmetic issue? It´s really bothering me.

I’m seeing the exact same message. I already have an active 2 TB iCloud+ subscription and am using about 1.1 TB, so I still have roughly 900 GB available.

I tapped “Continue,” and it simply took me to the page showing my existing subscription. There was nothing to activate, and the red notification badge is still there with no option to dismiss it.

Could this be a bug? Has anyone found a way to clear the notification without changing their storage plan?

Brilliant! Thank you. I already used the Feedback App to send this problem to Apple, but this fixed the problem for me right away. They still need to fix the badge appearing in general because people will not think to do this.

Momologjin, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my question. Hopefully a future update will address this bug.

Thanks for making this post.

I’m experiencing the same issue.

I don’t have family share and even my iPhone 16 Plus does this and it didn’t start until the latest update

Same here on my iPhone 16 Plus

Update: It seems that the bug has been fixed. The notification badge on settings was gone.

Wow! Thank you very very much

No it hasn’t. I still have the issue, and I restarted my phone

Tarekith, thank you so much for this fix.

Ok I just did that. Fix it. Works. Thank you
