My dad and I share the same apple id.

My dad and I have the same apple id and we share the same photos and I can see all the recent calls he has had on the call app. I now want to have my own apple id but my dad is worried that if I delete the apple id on my phone it will delete all his photos and contacts. Please can you tell you what I should do. Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 11

Hi there,


An article detailing what happens when you sign out of iCloud can be found here:

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support


From the article:

When you sign out, any information stored in iCloud remains available in iCloud. That information will be removed from your device unless you choose to keep a copy of that data when prompted.
