How to update iCloud settings after new terms notification?

I just received a notification that reads: “New iCloud Terms and Conditions. To use iCloud on this iPad you must accept the new iCloud Terms and Conditions, and enter your iPad passcode.” I have been a long time Apple user (nearly 20 years) and never received a notification like this about iCloud before. Is this legitimate or could it be a scam/phishing attempt?

I’ve got this too, as of yesterday. I haven’t clicked any dodgy links or had any dodgy emails. I haven’t accepted it because when I click to view the supposed updated T&Cs they’re in what looks like Greek which is super weird on an iPhone set to English. So I thought something was off as soon as I saw that. Also my husband has the exact same iPhone, same iOS version, same iCloud family account and he doesn’t have this alert.


Whatever this is it appears to be populating the “Apple ID Suggestions” area (see attached screenshots) to spoof a T&C update and prompt an affirmative response that triggers goodness knows what. It’s creepy. Even though I haven’t clicked ‘Agree’ I still I feel like changing my Apple ID password.


Does Apple know about this?
