What happens when I delete an iCloud account from my iPhone?

Recently, I just found out that my dad and I shared the same iCloud account on my phone and I really want to have my own privacy so if I delete my iCloud account, would that also delete the photos, apps, etc that was already stored on iCloud from my phone?

It does nothing, it just won't back up future files to iCloud and you can't use "Find my iPhone"

No. Well that depends. Any personal information the cloud will keep but documents&data and photostream photos will be removed from the phone and you can apt to keep or delete content on the phone if you sign out of icloud on the phone. In fact it asks you twice to make sure if you want to keep or delete.

Any content on the cloud remains on the cloud after signing a phone off. The only way to remove it would be to have a signed in device delete it off of there device or you go to icloud.com and remove it manually.

If you're worried about privacy you should also sign out of messages and facetime and use your own Apple ID.

  • What will happen if i delete my iCloud account? I have a 8GB iPhone and most of the storage is my iCloud account. I want to delete the iCloud so i can have more room for photos, games, music etc. What will happen though? I had a full backup of the phone but I'm worried if would cause something bad if i do delete the iCloud.
  • What happens when you delete iCloud? I don't use iCloud, and nothing is backed up on so it is essentially a blank account. So I was wondering what would happen if I delete the account on my iPhone through settings, will I gain more storage and will the "other" usage me minimized?
  • What happens to the data in my app when I delete it from iCloud? I have an app on my iphone 5 that I want to keep on my device and still play but it saves to iCloud.

  • What happens if i push delete facebook account on my iphone's settings? So I want to be logged off my Facebook account COMPLETELY but when I go to my Settings on my iPhone it says I'm still logged in. When I push my name, my name username and password show up and at the bottom it says "Delete Account." Dose this delete my entire Facebook account or just delete it from my iPhone?
