I have never really been that worried about saving pictures on my iPhone until now. I have over 1000 pictures of our 6 month old on my phone. I also have more than that supposedly on iCloud. I would like to make room on my phone so that we can continue to take pictures of him.

If I have them all on iCloud and delete them off of my phone will this delete them from iCloud?

I know that this is more than likely a dumb question. I can jailbreak a phone and do all sorts of editing to themes, etc., but iCloud is something I've never really fooled with much.

I'm betting it does delete them since it's essentially syncing your phone (if you are only using the backup option)

I'm sure there are other ways to store them permanently but it may not be automatic



May be best to upload them to Dropbox or save them to your home PC

The weird thing is this though. There are some pictures showing on my icloud account that aren't on my phone other than a shared photo stream.

Are any other devices connected to that iCloud account?

I believe my iPad mini is. I also have an iCloud deal on my desktop at work.

eta- I think I've found them on my desktop at work. You would think if I can jb and all that then I could work iCloud correctly. But obviously not.

Are you an Amazon Prime member? They have unlimited photo storage. Download the app then sign in and it automatically starts uploading.

Before I activate a new phone, I always sync it to my Mac or PC at home and make sure the photos are saved in there. I don't really need them on the new phone, but the wife would like to have access to older pics of our kids.

if you had an android...
1. you could just drag and drop from the phone to your hard drive
2. just have them automatically stored on your google photo account

sorry had to

I think they'll be deleted. You can download the Google+ app and back them up that way.
