As I'm trying to sign out on my iPhone, it states "photos and videos that have been optimized to save space will be removed from this iPhone."
Does this mean my camera roll will be affected? I haven't stored any photos in iCloud.
For background, my father and I were sharing an apple ID and I'm trying to make my own now. Thank you!
iPhone X, iOS 13
The photos in your camera roll will not be removed, when you sign out of your AppleID. But you have to make sure, that you really have not been storing photos in iCloud. After a system update, iCloud Photos may have become enabled, without you noticing it. Please check the Settings.
If iCloud Photos should have been turned on, follow the procedure described here: Get help with iCloud Photos - Apple Support
You can turn off iCloud Photos on a single device when you follow these steps:
If you have Optimize Storage turned on, you might not have all of your original photos and videos on your device. To download the original photos and videos on your iOS device, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos and select Download and Keep Originals. On your Mac, open Photos, choose Photos > Preferences, then select Download Originals to this Mac. Then you can turn off iCloud Photos. You can also select the photos and videos that you want to download from iCloud.com.
Before you turn off iCloud Photos, you might want to make a copy of your photos and videos.

Will changing apple ID delete my photos?
