About Managing Photos:

A. Download is Manual:

What is downloaded on a device is on a device itself --you cannot use another devices local storage.


B. Deletion is Manual:

"alos,another question if i stop sync my ipad and I deleted a photo will it delete too in my iPhone?"

No. A deleted device's data will not delete on your iPhone.


C. Sync Photos Through iCloud:

If you want to access these photos, then be certain all is synced with iCloud.

Sign in to the same Apple ID on the Mac and on the iPhone, and then enable Photos in iCloud Settings on both. Being synced, as a result, Photos will be accessible between both both devices. Note that If you that thousands of file, it may take some time.

A. Enable Photos on iPhone and iPad:

  1. Click: Settings
  2. Tap: your Name (top item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Music (so that it is green)

Downloading of Photos:

The photos are not going to download automatically. You need to download them on your own. So, just download them using the Photos app. Do so on just your iPhone and not on your iPad.
