iCloud back up question

Good day,


I would like to back up my iPhone to the iCloud to free up storage space on my phone.

After backing up I would like to delete some photos and keep some on the phone.

I was told that once I do this photos on the iCloud would also be deleted.

i wanted to know if this is true.

is there a way to back up the phone to the cloud, free up storage space in the phone without losing what is in the cloud?

thanks in advance.

You can have your cake and eat it if you optimize storage on your device.
