While the case of repeated “Sign-in to iCloud” pop-ups or “iCloud Login Loop” is more commonly reported by users of older devices, it can also occur on newer devices due to an iCloud glitch and other reasons.
In a typical case of this nature, iPhone prompts users to “Sign-in to iCloud” and when they Sign-in, it prompts them to Sign-in again, within a short period of time.
This annoying problem does not go away as iPhone keeps prompting the users to Sign-in multiple times, making it difficult to use their device.
Fix for Repeated “Sign in to iCloud” Pop-ups on iPhone
If your iPhone is coming up with “Sign-in to iCloud” pop-ups frequently or multiple times throughout the day, you should be able to fix the problem using the following troubleshooting steps.

After iPhone Restarts, you might be prompted to Sign-in to iCloud (Hopefully just once).
2. Check the Status of Apple’s iCloud Service
The reason for multiple Sign-in to iCloud prompts on your iPhone could be due to a problem with Apple’s iCloud Service.
