Hello!


I have a question concerning my pictures. I was cannot seem to figure out how to delete some photos from my iPhone device but still keep them on my Mackbook Pro.


I want to free up some space on my actual iPhone device without losing the photos in my iCloud on my computer.


I would really appreciate any help I can get.


Thank you in advance!


Ayisa.

iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264
