so I need some advice- my mom signed up years ago with an "@gmail.com" as the iCloud account on her iPhone. The system keeps asking to set up an "@icloud.com" but she is afraid that if I create the iCloud email that she will lose her messages and contacts.
Is there a way to keep but set up the iCloud account?
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14
Try going to https://appleid.apple.com to see what her ID's are.

If she has an @gmail email address as her Apple ID, then she should already have an @iCloud email address that serves as her Apple ID as well.
So if she does and the Mac is saying to use all feature but create an iCloud by finishing the set up. She won’t lose messages and other key parts?
Switch emails and set up Icloud
