You can only update your Apple email ID to an iCloud email address if that email ID was created at least 30 days ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, when you update your Apple email ID, it gets automatically updated on your Apple device. Sometimes however, you may have to log in manually with your updated email ID if it doesn&rsquo;t update automatically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, all your pictures should appear and you will not lose any data.

One reason is if you&rsquo;ve been sharing your Apple ID with family members across several Apple devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, the data stored in iCloud, including photos and videos, appears on all the devices logged in with the shared Apple ID. So every device using that Apple ID can access the same content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, you may decide to separate your data by creating a new Apple ID. Here&rsquo;s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/appleid.apple.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">appleid.apple.com<\/a> using a web browser.<\/li><li>Click on &ldquo;Create Your Apple ID&rdquo;<\/li><li>Fill out the information, including an email address that will be used as your new Apple ID.<\/li><li>Use a phone number you have access to in order to verify.<\/li><li>Click &ldquo;Continue&rdquo;<\/li><li>Now you will need to verify your email address and phone number. A verification code will be sent to your email ID as well as your phone number.
