If you are backing your photos up in iCloud, no they will not be deleted from the backup if you delete them rom the phone.


If you are using iCloud Photos, then yes they will be delete from iCloud if you delete them from your phone. I loud Photos is a syncing service and not actual off device storage. If you don’t know if you are using iCloud photos you can check in Settings>Your Name>iCloud>Apps using iCloud>Photos. If iCloud Photos is turned on in the next screen, you are using iCloud Photos.
