iCloudin Review: Download the Latest and Workable Version

iCloudin is the most confusing name in the world of iCloud Activation Lock removal. You may hear its names on forums or YouTube, but just finding the tool, let alone downloading it, is a challenge. Some say it’s a ZIP utility and others claim it’s an online server. So, which is it?

In this guide, we’ll answer those questions and walk you through how to use iCloudin 1.5 (the 2025 version) which claims to support up to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. And in case it doesn’t work, which often happens, we’ll also introduce you to a far more reliable solution: Passixer iPhone Unlocker. No matter which iPhone or iPad you’re dealing with, you’ll find a clear path forward to remove the Activation Lock and finally use your device again.

FAQs About iCloudin

Before diving into how iCloudin works, it’s worth answering a few common questions, especially for first-time users. From what it is to whether it’s free or safe, these quick answers help clear the confusion before you begin.

What is iCloudin?

iCloudin is developed by a group of hackers to unlock iCloud Activation Lock on iPhones, iPads, and iPods. It’s a free solution aimed at users who have forgotten their login or purchased second-hand Apple devices that remain locked to the previous owner.

On paper, iCloudin sounds like an accessible tool designed for non-technical users, as it avoids hard-coded boot-level methods like Checkm8, RAM disk mods, or jailbreaking.

The tool appears in several forms:

• Sometimes as an online server (the 2025 iCloudin 1.5 version),



• Sometimes as a downloadable ZIP (primarily the older 1.0 version, which only runs on Windows),



• And occasionally embedded directly within a web page.

We’ve tested all three forms. The most recent, iCloudin 1.5, claims compatibility with a wide range of Apple devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro Max (model numbers A2849, A3105, A3108) and several earlier iPad Pro generations.

Is iCloudin Free?

Yes, iCloudin is completely free to use. While you will come across websites or resellers offering paid versions or asking for activation fees, those are unnecessary and often misleading.

Also remember: no matter which version you use, you should never be asked to pay.

Is iCloudin Safe?

Safety can mean different things: downloading safety, privacy, and device integrity. iCloudin doesn’t ask for your Apple ID or personal login credentials and the tool itself isn’t known to install malware, even in its downloadable utility form. Plus, you won’t need to submit anything sensitive (other than your IMEI number), so it’s fairly safe in that regard.

That said, you’ll typically encounter a large number of ads on every hosting site, which is common. So, use an ad-blocking browser like Brave.

How to Use iCloudin to Bypass iCloud Activation Lock

This is where the confusion usually begins: which version should you use, where do you start, and what actually works? The truth is, regardless of which version you begin with, you’ll often end up interacting with the same utility tool, an executable that runs on your computer.

For instance, the 2025 iCloudin 1.5 version first checks your IMEI, performs part of the setup online, and then provides an optimized version of the tool tailored to your device. Or, you can directly download the older iCloudin 1.0 utility if you prefer a standalone ZIP file.

No matter how you begin, you’ll eventually need to use the tool locally on a compatible Windows PC. So, here’s how to download the utility and run it, based on the most recent flow we’ve tested.

Step 1. Download the Latest Version of iCloudin

1. Start by visiting the official iCloudin website.

2. Scroll through the site until you spot the option labeled Download iCloudin Tool. Tap on it to initiate the process.

3. Once the page loads, press Unlock iCloud Now to move into the tool access section.

4. You’ll be asked to choose a server, Microsoft or Apple.

5. A list of supported models should appear. Review this list to confirm whether your iPhone, iPad, or iPod is eligible for bypass.

6. Continue to the next screen where you’ll find the online unlock tool. Hit Unlock Now to bring up the entry field.

7. Enter your device’s IMEI or serial number in the box provided.

8. Tap Generate Unlock Code and wait as the system processes your request. This step will take a few moments, so wait patiently.

9. After the unlock code is created, an activation file should be made available. This file is necessary for downloading the final unlock utility.

Step 2. Bypass iCloud Lock with iCloudin

1. Once the activation file is successfully downloaded, extract the ZIP folder to your Windows desktop using any trusted unzip tool.

2. Ensure that the latest version of iTunes is installed on your PC (the newer Apple Devices app for Windows doesn’t help).

3. Open the iCloudin folder and locate the file named Hosts_Activation_IMEI.java. Double-click it to launch the unlock utility.

4. Use a USB cable to connect your iCloud locked iPhone, iPad, or iPod to the computer. Wait for iTunes and the iCloudin tool to recognize your device.

5. Once the device is detected, initiate the bypass process by clicking Unlock Now and then follow the on-screen prompts. This typically involves running a local activation script tied to your IMEI.

6. Allow the process to complete. If successful, your device should skip the iCloud Activation screen upon the restart and allow you to access the Home Screen. From here, you may set up a new Apple ID.

Our Using Experience

Finding a working version of iCloudin isn’t straightforward. Many eventually land on a site like icloud info.tools, but it will simply redirect you to pop-ups, VPS cloud mirrors.

Eventually, we circled back and retrieved the only version that looked even remotely stable: iCloudin v1.0, still hosted quietly on groups.google.com. That download actually began—password-protected and it came with its own problems:

• On Windows 11, the system threw an error that encrypted archive formats weren’t supported.



• On Windows 10, the archive refused to be extracted.



• Only on Windows 7, with classic iTunes installed, did the tool even attempt to run.

Real-Device Test Results

After testing all three versions, including the online server, embedded interface, and the downloadable 1.0 ZIP, here’s what we found:

• First, we tried an iPhone 14 Pro, since newer versions of the tool claim support up to iPhone 15.
• When that failed, we moved to an iPhone XS model. Still no luck.



• Lastly, we tested on an iPhone 7, one of the older devices supposedly most compatible with iCloudin. Even here, the result was unchanged.

In every case, the iCloud Activation Lock remained fully intact, regardless of how many times we repeated the process.
