My (old) iPhone 6s is now out of storage. All photos are backed up on iCloud. If I delete the photos on the iPhone to make room for more, will the photos stay in place on iCloud? I don't want to delete those too.
iPhone 6s, iOS 14
If you are using iCloud photos, if you delete the photos from the phone, it will delete them from iCloud. That is how iCloud photos work. If you turn off iCloud photos on the phone you can delete the photos without removing them from iCloud. However, if you want to take more photos on the phone and then try to add them to iCloud, you will run into trouble because the phone does not have room for all of the other photos that you have in iCloud. You will be unable to sync iCloud because of the lack of room on your device.
