Hi!
I was wondering, if I delete something off my phone, does it delete it from my icloud as well? I need to make room on my phone so I bought the 200gb icloud storage so I could move everything off of my actual phone itself. If I delete everything off my phone, can I trust that it will be saved on my icloud?
Thanks!!
iPhone XR, iOS 12
No. iCloud is primarily a syncing service. For example if you are using iCloud Photos and delete a photo from your phone it will delete from iCloud and from all other devices where you have iCloud Photos turned on. The following link has information about iPhone storage and iCloud storage and discusses the limited ways that iCloud Storage may help: About storage on your device and in iCloud - Apple Support
