Transferring iCloud photos from one iCloud account to another when upgrading an iPhone Hello, I have an iPhone 5s and I am upgrading to an iPhone X. My photos on the 5s are stored in iCloud with low res optimization on my phone. I do not have enough storage capacity to keep original res photos on my 5s iPhone. I am sharing an Apple ID with my husband and would like to transfer or copy all of the photos to my new iPhone X which will have my new apple ID. What is the best way to move or copy original quality, compression, and resolution from one Apple ID to another on a different phone? We will be family sharing iCloud storage too. Thank you!

Combine 2 icloud photos on 2 different phones into one single icloud account I would like to combine my 2 phones' pictures onto the same icloud, now it is separated into 2 iclouds. I am afraid if I sign out for one of the icloud, the photos in that icloud will be gone (since now it is under the optimized mode), being because icloud storage is not enough, so not sure if I login the other icloud, the original photos in phone A will be replaced by the phone B and icloud B. What is the safest way to do to combine into 1 icloud despite now photos are in 2 phones? Thanks!

You cannot merge Apple IDs. All purchases and content are tied to the Apple ID in use at the time.

You can enable Family Sharing (apple.com/family-sharing) to share purchases between the IDs.

You can also simply share your pictures from one device/account to another through AirDrop, email, etc.
