So I created a shared album where I’m the only person in it. I’m also apart a iCloud Family Plan. So what happens to the photos I added to the shared album when I leave the iCloud Family Plan? Do I still have them available or do they disappear? (I will probably buy my own plan after leaving the family one)

Hello sephora33,
Shared Albums are a completely separate feature, as you can share albums even if you aren't a member of a Family Sharing group. You can also share your albums with individuals that don't use iCloud: How to use Shared Albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully that addresses your inquiry.
Take care.

Oh ok. But I made shared albums that only have me in it. I haven’t shared it with other family members and once I added photos to the shared album I deleted them from my camera roll so I could save some space. Since I did this, would I lose the photos I added? Sorry for asking the same question again.
Thanks for reaching out sephora33,
It sounds like you want to know what happens to your shared albums if you leave a family group. We can help.
Keep in mind that your photos use your iCloud storage when in a Shared Album. If you leave the family group, your available storage might change depending on the plan you select, but the photos will remain in your iCloud until you stop sharing them.

Hello sephora33,
We'd be happy to clear things up. Deleting these photos from your device will not change the shared album. In the meantime, this section describe what happens if you deleted these photos from your shared album:
When you delete a shared album, it's automatically removed from all of your devices and the devices of your subscribers. If you turned on Public Website, the shared album is removed from the web, too. Deleting a shared album permanently deletes all of its photos. Before continuing, make sure that you save any photos that you want to keep.

When you leave the shared family plan, you will only lose the Shared family album, but not the shared album where you are the owner. This shared album is tied to your Apple ID.
Oh ok. Thank you for your answer. Also are the shared albums connected to my iCloud Family? Like when I leave the family plan will it affect my shared albums?
Ok, thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Ok, thank you so much! This really helps a lot!
What happens to the photos I added to the shared album?
