When you delete photos from your iPhone, they are not actually deleted from your iCloud account. Instead, the photos are removed from your iPhone’s photo library and are not accessible from any other device. However, if you later restore your iPhone from a backup, the photos that were deleted from your iPhone will be restored.
Intro
What is the difference between deleting photos from an iPhone and deleting photos from iCloud?
Deleting photos from an iPhone deletes them from the iPhone itself. Deleting photos from iCloud deletes them from the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, as well as the Apple servers where they are stored.
How Do I Delete Photos From My Iphone Without Deleting Them From Icloud
To delete photos from your iPhone without deleting them from iCloud, go to Settings and toggle iCloud Photos off. This will disconnect the iPhone from iCloud, which will allow you to safely delete photos from your iPhone.
How Do I Delete Photos From My Iphone Only
If you want to delete a photo or video from your iPhone, you can do so by following these steps:
Open Photos on your iPhone and tap the Albums tab. Tap the Recently Deleted album to view all the photos and videos that have been deleted recently. Select the photos or videos you want to delete and then tap Delete. Tap Delete again to confirm.
Why Are Photos Taking Up Space on Iphone When I Have Icloud
Photos and videos take up space on an iPhone because they are stored in their original, high-resolution format. This means that they use a lot of space on your device.
How Do I Free Up Icloud Storage on My Iphone
Apple’s iCloud service allows users to store their photos, contacts, messages, recordings, documents, and other data in a centralized location. Users can access this information on any device they own, and can share it with other Apple users.
Users can reduce the size of their iCloud backup by deleting photos from iCloud Photos, deleting folders or files from iCloud Drive, deleting texts and attachments from Messages, deleting messages and managing Mail, and deleting voice memos. Deleting these items will free up space on the user’s device, and will also reduce the amount of data that is stored in iCloud.
