Changed Apple ID email, photos now missing Hello :) Earlier today, I switched the email I’m using for Apple ID. I didn’t create a whole new account, just switched the email. It still showed the old email so I signed out and signed back in, which fixed that problem. However, I then went to my photos app and realized that tens of thousands of my photos were missing. It’s definitely not a storage problem on my iphone or iCloud, as I have 256GB and 2TB. I went to check my iCloud account online, and all the photos missing from my phone are luckily still in my iCloud account. How can I get those photos back onto my phone? Will my hidden photos be salvaged too? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Apple ID Hello. So my IPhone and IPad are connected, with the same Apple ID. And my old Apple ID email got deleted but I changed the email on my IPhone so that’s fine. But my old deleted email is still on connected to the IPad and I’m worried when I sign out of the IPad Apple ID I will loose my photos, as they are not all backed up on iCloud. Can anyone help me?

If you created the new account and set up the phone using it, you can use the following procedure to completely clear it (anything new you added will be lost): What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

and then set it up as new using the correct ID.
