I need to move photos back to my daughters phone
I need to move photos back to my daughters phone. She finally has her her own apple ID. Now she lost all her photos and they are on my phone. I want them off my phone and back on her phone.

Hello vperri6,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you and your daughter shared Apple IDs. Therefore your Apple ID must be signed into your daughter's iPhone and the Download and Keep Originals for Photos options should be checked in iCloud Settings.
Once the Photos are downloaded to the device, you may turn them off in order to keep them on the iPhone. It should say "Keep on my iPhone" when you attempt to turn off iCloud Photos.
Once iCloud Photos are turned off, you'll sign out of your Apple ID and sign back into your daughter's new Apple ID. Following the same article: Setup and use iCloud Photos the photos will be uploaded to your daughter's iCloud account.
Note: You will need to delete your personal photos from your daughter's iPhone. There is no easy way to do this other than manually.
This sounded pretty easy and easier than the support person just advised me off the only thing you absolutely lost me with was the final statement I will need to delete my pictures manually from her iPhone that certainly seems like them I would be losing my pictures permanently since it would be under my Apple ID please advise thank you
Once you are signed into two separate Apple IDs, you'll only delete the photos from your daughter's iPhone which will not delete the photos from your iPhone.
The photos from your iPhone will only delete if you're signed into the same Apple ID. Therefore, once you delete the photos, they will not be removed from your iPhone as she's logged into her Apple ID only.
There was no way to move my daughters notes or photos folllwing all of this direction exactly. They just never showed up on her iPhone. I called support and we are using airdrop now which appears to be working.
Today about 8 hours were spent on my day off trying to use these steps on windows 8, windows 10 and both our iphones. There has to be an easier way to do this stuff. It is far more complicated than it should be. I mean the steps certainly made sense so it should’ve worked for us.
What didn't work?

I do see an option but apparently she would never have her high quality resolution pictures again as they would be down sized to fit her phone.
If she has sufficient space on her phone and is connect to her iCloud account, she can turn off Optimization and full resolution photos will eventually be downloaded to her phone.
Yes she should have the space so we will turn that off before we do anything unless you think it’s better to first do it with the optimization on and then turn it off. Thanks !
You are welcome. If she has enough space there is no need to use Optimization.
Well it looked like it was going to work with our iPhones just like it looked like it was going to work with my windows 8 laptop and my windows 10 tower. I guess will need to call the store.
Good.
