I have not clearly understood your requirement but based on my guesses and partial undersatnding.


My answer is as follows...


  • Photos are never backed up (iTunes/iCloud) if you have enabled iCloud Photos.
  • If you delete on iCloud same is deleted on iPhone too and vice-versa.


iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice MemosMessages, shared photosiCloud Photos, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.


If you had turned on iCloud Photos your content is automatically stored in iCloud and is available on all devices that use the same Apple ID.
