Q: Will everything be deleted if I sign out of my iCloud?
Hi I'm wondering what will happen if I log out of my iCloud. Essentially I'm doing this to sign into my old iCloud account. I don,t have anything backed up, but I am backing up my photos currently. I'd just like to know the steps to ensure that all my photos/messages stay the same if I sign back on?
iPhone 5c, iOS 9.2.1

Personally I would backup before making any changes, otherwise content could be lost. Connect to iTunes to do that (or use iCloud backup if you can't do that). iCloud overwrites it's backups, so you only have so long to recover. iTunes can 'archive' a backup, saving that point in time.
Have you considered logging in to the account on the web instead? It will show some of your data in iCloud.com or you can view AppleID info at…
iCloud.com only works correctly on computers.
