what happens if i delete photos saved on another apple id’s icloud

ok, so recently i started using my own apple id after using my fathers for quite a while. now, i am currently trying to clear up some space on my iphone, however i am worried that by deleting the photos saved on his icloud that are on my phone, it’ll be deleted off of his icloud aswell.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hello CanadianClarinet,

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. 


Deleting photos and videos from your iCloud library on one device will update all other devices and remove the photos there as well. If you are already using your own individual Apple ID and iCloud account with your devices, this may not be a concern.


To be certain, your father can make a copy of their photos and videos by following these instructions: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud

If you are unsure about proceeding on your own, you can contact Apple Support directly before proceeding. 


All the best!
