How to Customize iCloud to Work with Apps

It's important to understand that the app-related synchronization feature offered by iCloud is different from iCloud Backup.

When you set up iCloud to work with a specific compatible app, that app automatically connects to iCloud, and then uploads or downloads app-related files or data as needed. iCloud then syncs that app-specific data with your other computers and devices that are linked to the same iCloud account.
