Recover photos on old apple id
I’m trying to recover photos on an old Apple ID, I recently made a new one because I couldn’t remember my old one. Can I do this? The photos were on an old iPhone. I’m currently using an iPad...

If you were syncing the photos with iCloud, the following may work. Sign out of the current ID and in with the old ID. Once you have the photos, sign out of the old and in with the new. There may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed.
