Does updating to the new iOS get rid of all the data?

I have an iPhone 6s (32GB) and I do not know if updating to iOS 12.4.1 and iOS 13 will do anything to my apps, data, etc. I have backed up the important things in iCloud but will updating get rid of the rest?

Updating iOS can always introduce some risks. That's why, as mentioned by others, you should backup your phone BEFORE doing any updates, even just for apps. The following article should help address the two basic backup methods available for your phone so you can choose which will work best for you.
