Storing Photos on Icloud
Hi, Can I store my photos on icloud, and delete them on my iphone? or Once deleted from iphone, it will be deleted from icloud as well?

You cannot store photos in iCloud using iCloud Photos and remove them from your iPhone. It is a syncing service to make them available on all devices and also to be able to load them back to your device after a reset or on to a new device. Deleting the photo on your device will also delete it from iCloud.
You can use the Optimized Storage option to save storage space on your device. This will store the full resolution photo in iCloud and only smaller thumbnails on your device when needed to save space.
