I want to erase my iphone 6, but keep the pictures I have. And if I erase my phone will it also erase my ipad and macbook air?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

If you have anything on the device you want to keep, then download it to a computer before erasing the iPhone.


If the Photos are synced to iCloud and other devices using iCloud Photo Library, then just sign out of iCloud on the iPhone before erasing it.


Do not erase content manually from the iPhone, as any content you erase manually that is synced to iCloud will be erased from iCloud, and other devices accessing that iCloud account.

Erasing 1 device as explained above, will not erase others, or remove any data from other devices.
