If using iCloud Photos (Settings->Photos->iCloud Photos), any deletions on a device will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other devices connected to the same Apple ID that have iCloud Photos turned on.


iCloud Photos is a syncing service, so any actions are synced to iCloud and other devices, including deletions.
