Can I turn off iCloud on my iPhone without deleting pictures on it?
Re: I would like to turn icloud off on my apple phone, but it says my pictures will be deleted ?
If you disable iCloud Photo Library and / or Photostream prior to signing out of iCloud, your pics "on the device" should not be affected. Still, you should always do a backup first, just in case.
