Multiple potentially linked issues with keychains, iCloud, passwords and Home.
I have had this issue for a few years. I just upgraded from a 13 mini to a 17e hoping it would resolve but it didn’t. I have always been signed into iCloud but am only linked to some of the features.
There are multiple features that simply don’t work.
- Apple Account Suggestions: The ‘resume data sync’ gives me a few seconds of spinning wheel and then returns to the same screen. This is in response to the suggestion “Some iCloud data isn’t syncing. Your end to end encrypted data stored in iCloud can’t be accessed on this device.”
- Home: tells me that iCloud is required, ‘iCloud for Home must be enabled when signed into an iCloud account. I click’ Turn on iCloud Keychains’. A message appears, ‘Home uses end-to-end encryption - Your Apple Account settings need to be updated so this iPhone can use end-to-end encryption’. I get two options, ‘Cancel’ or ‘Continue’. If I select Continue’ there are a few seconds of spinning wheel and then it returns to the original ‘iCloud for Home ….’ message, if I select ’cancel’ it brings up what imagine is the Home landing page but there is nothing on it and it can’t do anything.
- iCloud in Settings: if I try and turn iCloud on for anything where it is off (drive, messages, passwords) an error message appears, ‘An unknown error occurred. Please try again later’.
I wonder if they have the same root cause, which if we can resolve will fix them all.
