Hi, when setting up my new iPhone 6s+, I accidently enabled iCloud storage for photos. When I try to disable it, it gives me the warning that it will delete my photos in 30 days. This is a huge concern as I have over 11k+ photos and losing any of them would be terrible, I just want to disable iCloud storage for photos, I don't want any photos removed off my device. I also can't back any of them up. Any advice?
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10.1.1
Here is a support article that explains how to get your photos down to your Mac or iOS device when turning off iCloud Photo Library:
How do I remove all iCloud Photo Library content from iCloud and my devices?
To turn off your iCloud Photo Library, follow these steps:
Photos and videos will be stored in your account for 30 days. To download your photos and videos on your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and select Download and Keep Originals. On your Mac, open Photos, choose Photos > Preferences, then select Download Originals to this Mac. You can also select the photos and videos that you want to download from iCloud.com.
Once you stop using iCloud Photo Library and get your photos loaded back on your Phone or Mac, you want to start importing those photos to your computer on a regular basis so that you can be assured that they will be stored safely on a separate library (and not just on your phone): PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC
