0 views
Yes, you can manually pay for iCloud storage, but it requires setting up a payment method for your Apple ID that gets charged automatically on a monthly basis for the storage plan you choose. However, to manually make a payment, you'll need to adjust your iCloud storage plan right before your current plan is due. By either upgrading or downgrading your storage option through Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage or on a Mac, System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud, you indirectly 'pay manually' as your linked payment method is charged accordingly.
