IPhone owners who have updated to iOS 8 or iOS 9 versions may be dealing with the issue of getting a constant popup loop message “Sign in to iCloud Account” onto their device.
This issue is confirmed to occur in two given situations. The first one is when the iPhone is directly updated to iOS 8 or iOS 9 version while the second situation is connected with the technical settings of the Wi-Fi connection.
In both cases the same message is shown continuously “Sign in to iCloud Account” and this can be really frustrating because the message will not go away even after you sign in to your iCloud account. However you should not worry too much because this issue can be quickly resolved.

In some cases the popup loop message “Sign in iCloud Account” occurs when there are some technical problems with the Wi-Fi. Here are a few tips on how to solve this problem:
