I noticed yesterday that there’s no longer a tick box that says ‘delete after import’ in Photos. So what are you supposed to do to get photos off your device after you’ve copied them over? Delete them manually?
I use iCloud and copied all my pics over to the Mac yesterday (using Yosemite) but I assumed it would remove them automatically as it does if you delete one from the device itself. Is that no longer the case?
iPhone XS Max
I think it depends on the device, but in any case, yes, delete them manually. You should always make sure the import works OK before you delete the images. Even just double click to expand to full screen.

I use iCloud
If you have the iCloud Photos Library enabled the "Delete after import" is disabled because if you're imported from your iPhone and delete from it you could be deleting from your library as well. It depends on if the iPhone has iCloud Photos Library enabled or not.
If you are using iCloud on your iPhone you should import the photos using iCloud Photos Library and not using a USB connection. If your iPhone is set to use iCloud with "Optimize Storage" , you cannot beside, which photos have been downloaded from the iPhone and which photos have not been downloaded. You will have missed all photos that have been optimized and are not stored locally on the iPhone and only in iCloud.
Thanks for the reply. Always have to change things don’t they? 😂
Photos no longer has delete option after copying pics to the Mac?
