As we have a tendency to square measure probing this flow of gadgets, usually times we have a tendency to own devices having a special operating system. Take a Mac from Apple, tablet from Google, and a Lumia from Microsoft. In between, we've got the troubles of getting everything synced across varied operational systems.

Accessing your iCloud on an Android phone is relatively simple, however,before you are able to do so you will have to follow some simple steps.

The first step you’ll have to take in order to use iCloud on Android is to find out which iCloud server is hosting your personal account. This can be easily achieved by following these simple steps

Go to your calendar
Click on the sharing icons next to it
Select ‘’Public Calendar’’


Once you have followed these steps, you will be provided with a URL which looks something like: webcal //p**-calendarws.icloud.com. Note that in this URL the ‘’webcal //p**’’ is the number that represents the number of the server you are using. This could, for example, be p01, p02, p03 and so forth.

Now, in order to set up your E-mail and sync it with your iCloud – simply head to your regular E-mail client that you’re normally using on your Android phone. Once you are here, you’ll have to create a new IMAP account. While doing this, enter your e-mail address, user your apple ID as the username, and fill in your iCloud password. When it requires the server number, simply fill out ‘’p**-imap.mail.me.com’’, in which ** is the number you wrote down during the previous step. After synchronizing your Android E-mail client with your iCloud, you might also want to sync your calendars and contacts. Doing this might, however, be a bit more complicated. The first thing you’ll have to do is to find out whether your Android smartphone supports CalDAV and CardDAV protocols. If it turns out that your Android phone does not support these protocols, you’ll have to download an Application that allows synchronization. Some Apps that are capable of doing so are Caldav Sync Free Beta and CardDAV-Sync FreeBeta. Once your Android phone is able to support these protocols, you can access your contact settings (or the previously mentioned Apps). While you’re in here, use pXX-contacts.icloud.com as the contact server. After you’ve done so, select the ‘’use SSL’’ option and fill in your iCloud E-mail and password. Once these steps have been completed, the contacts on your Android phone should be synced with your iCloud.

For those of you that think the method mentioned above is too complicated, there are also iCloud alternatives that are available to Android phone users.

...or just rely on Google Drive, since it's as good as iCloud.

You can only track your iphone if an icloud account was setup which will activate find my iphone by default. You can then use that icloud acct to login into apple icloud server (icloud.com) and track your stolen phone, make it beep continuously, erase it or permanently lock the iphone and render it useless.
