    Will logging in to another iCloud account erase existing photos on new iPhone?

    Ok my situation is this, I’ve been using my iPhone 11 to take pics with a test iCloud account. If I now log into another iCloud account, will it erase the existing pics that are now in my phone? Or will it merge them?

    Scanning iCloud

    Hello, after abandoning the CSAM scanning I’m wondering if Apple is scanning other data on iCloud for any purpose. Apparently they do scan iCloud mail for suspicious content but what are the consequences? Do they close the account? Do they report users straight to law? Does anyone have further...

    Sync selected iCloud Contacts group

    Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible to create a contact group in iCloud and sync only that group instead of all contacts? I've been searching for this a while but couldn't find a solution, so maybe it's not possible but was wondering if anyone was able to find a way around this. Thanks!

    Messages storage ballooning out of control for no apparent reason.

    Hello, So I’ve upgraded to a 128GB iPhone from a 256GB iPhone as I decided I don’t really need that much physical storage space due to having 2TB of iCloud and everything being synced/stored in the cloud. I reduced the space being taken on my old phone, then restored the new phone from backup...

    iCloud subscription (plus other options) question

    So my parents have iPhones and being they are older they struggle to keep up with the basics (cleaning out old texts, deleting multiple photos, etc.).
