Icloud photo merge question

If I sign in to iCloud on my phone (which I haven't in 2 years) will it merge the photos or replace the current ones? Don't want to lose the current ones in iCloud now.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

It will merge whatever is on your device with whatever is in icloud and sync all, so both iCloud and your device have the same photos.


It will not delete anything from iCloud unless you manually delete it yourself.
