Moving Photos from one iCloud to Another

I have a lot of photos so do not want to use airdrop. How can I export / import all my photos / videos from a work iCloud email iPhone to a personal iCloud email iPhone maintaining the original size and metadata. The photos on the work iPhone will then be deleted the iCloud email account.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Hello Tony1R,


You can download the photos from the iCloud website on your personal iPhone by logging in with the Apple ID that you use on the work iPhone. This article shows you how:
