transfer old photos from old to new account
I have an old account with photos and all, now I have a new one that I'm using. I want to get the data (photos) from the old and add it to the current account . How would I do that?

Hi MamineID 😊
If you want to move your old photos from your previous Apple ID to your new one, there are only two ways to do it:
• Sign in to the old account on a device and download all your photos locally
• Then sign out and sign in with your new Apple ID, and upload the photos again to iCloud Photos
Apple doesn’t allow transferring data directly from one Apple ID to another, so it has to be done manually.

Hi Evan
Thanks for your suggestion, I did try this solution but as soon as I signed out of my old ID, the photos disappeared from the Photos app on the phone. I tried the (download and keep the original) option and nothing has changed.
