    I use iCloud to sync my three devices. Suddenly, something has changed so that when I send an email link, I have a webpage to another person and it uses my iCloud address. How do I change it to my email?
    Community Answer
    Make sure in email that when you send an email, it says From: the email you want to send it to. Or, in Settings, go to accounts or into your contact and into email, and remove the iCloud account.
