    Hi Jacqueline,

     

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

     

    It sounds like you want to sign out if your Apple ID (iCloud account) on your iPhone 6 and sign in with a different Apple ID to access shared photos or iCloud Photo Library under that account.

     

    If so, use these steps from Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

     

    iCloud

    1. Tap Settings > iCloud on your iOS device. If you see the option to sign in, you can change your Apple ID now.
    2. Scroll down and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account. After you sign out of iCloud, you might not be able to access some of your data that's stored in iCloud until you sign in again. If you're part of a family, you'll need to sign back in to use Family Sharing.

    3. Choose Keep on My iPhone or Delete from My iPhone.
    4. Enter your password.
    5. Go to Settings > iCloud and enter your Apple ID and password.
    6. Tap Sign In.

    If you updated your Apple ID email address and your device repeatedly asks for the password to your previous Apple ID, you can temporarily change your Apple ID to resolve the issue.

     

    All the best.
