【Schoolmistress 2】

Apple seems really intent on Schoolmistress 2turning iCloud.com into something people actually use daily.

Last year, the company redesigned the iCloud.com page, which is essentially a repository of all the stuff you keep in your iCloud, to be more customizable and easier to use.

Now, the company has taken it a step further. All of the key apps on iCloud.com have been upgraded with new functionality. For example, the Photos app can now show you Memories, which are curated collections of your photos, as well as full screen slideshows of the photos you choose. Notes now let you link to other notes, and share folders; search within the app has also been improved.

And Mail now lets you create an @icloud.com email address from the web, with the ability to undo a sent message.

Those willing to try using iCloud.com on their desktop computer more frequently might find another feature useful: Browser notifications. If you allow it, iCloud will now notify you of new emails and calendar events in your browser.

I still don't see myself relying primarily on iCloud.com, mostly because it's just easier to use certain apps (Find My comes to mind) and perform certain actions (like changing your iCloud plan) directly on Apple devices. But with all these changes, iCloud.com has become a usable tool for handling the data you keep in iCloud.
