If i remove icloud does anything on my family members device disappear? for example the apps that we share

My mother and I share an icloud account, before we used to have the same apple IDs on both iphones.

Now i have my own account.

If i remove icloud, will anything disappear?

If you delete the account from your phone, the iCloud data will disappear from your phone, but not from iCloud. Your mother's phone won't be effected by this.


If you want to move your phone to your new account and keep your existing data, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new ID and choose Merge to upload the data to your account. Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to iCloud.com and delete the other person's data from your accounts.
