Understand that all devices using the same Apple ID and setup with iCloud Photos ON, will sync (mirror) what photos are on each other.


For eg. if you use iPhone and iPad and have the same ID on both and iCloud is set on both with iCloud Photos ON, then they will sync with each other. Photos you take from your iPhone will also appear on the iPad and vice-versa. This is how iCloud Photos is designed to work. So, if you delete from one device they will delete from the other device as well.


You can turn this setting (iCloud Photos) OFF so that this does not happen, if you wish.
