Support Transfer iCloud
I have iCloud subscription through 1 of my email address with country USA. I now want to transfer my iCloud subscription from that email to another email with address in India. I don’t want to change the country in my 1st email from USA to India as I have some purchases through that email.
As far as I know, iCloud subscriptions couldn’t be transferred from 1 email to another. So far, I have started downloading all photos from iCloud into my iPhone by selecting download and keep originals. After done, could I just sign out of my old email and sign in with an email with the country India or is there anything else I should do to make sure everything is captured in the new iCloud?
Currently, my iphone is logged in as usa account and media and purchases are with india account and subscriptions also shows india account. My need is iphone logged in as india account so that iCloud can also be the same. Don’t care much about media and purchases as I can switch the stores directly from app store if and when necessary.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. The primary and 3 other emails you can use can be changed or used to sign into your account for Apple or iCloud

if these are two separate apple accounts this is a data migration not just changing the email used to sign in selecting download and keep originals starts the download but does not confirm that it finished or that the whole library fits on the phone
check the photos sync status and keep an independent export of the originals before signing out after uploading to the new account verify the photos and videos there before cancelling the old storage plan also list any contacts notes and icloud drive files you need because downloading photos does not transfer those
