Apple ID

My sister and I are on my moms Apple ID. We are getting new phones next week and are wanting to set them up on new Apple Id's for us. How can we do this without losing all of our pictures?

If you are using iCloud Photo library, you would need to sign in to that icloud account on the new iPhone's to get those pictures. Then sign out of iCloud, an choose to keep the photos on the new iPhones.


If you are not using iCloud Photo Library, then all you need to do is backup the old phones, and restore that backup to the new phones. Then sign out of iCloud once the phones are set up, and sign in with the new Apple ID. Photos are stored in the backup, if not using iCloud Photo library.
