Thanks Trevor, you remind of this option. So simple video and direct to the point.
I don't see how this is useful? The moment you "reconnect" your phone and the icloud, they will sync up again and either all the data will download to my phone again, OR all will be deleted in the cloud. How do I sync them so that my library on my phone is empty but everything is saved in the cloud?
Agreed, complete useless. What’s the point doing this. I just need to delete some from my phone and keep it in iCloud as a backup
You should instead see iCloud sync service between your devices. If you want to backup and then erase to free up space, you will have to download from icloud to an external device or some other backup service, and maintain this as the backup.
Thank you this was so helpful. I’m a gamer and this helped me save up so much space on my mobile device
Thank you for this helpful information, but what if you take new photos after deleting them? Will these new photos be added during the next iCloud sync?
Thank you for such a simple explanation! been searching everywhere for this. Appreciate it.
This is helpful. Thank you Trevor.
Thank you for clean and easy tutorial video ❤
how do you sync new photos from your phone to icloud without resyncing all photos? Also, what your iPad? Are the photos still on your iPad?
Very helpful!!! Thank you
I have been wondering how to do this for a long time because I still have an iPhone 11 max Pro and I had 19,000 photos and videos and every update for the phone was saying that it couldn’t update because I had too many photos and videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I even watched another video before this and it didn’t actually work out well. It was kind of confusing and your video was perfect and quick and easy. Thank you.
Thank you. It was what I was looking for
Is there any way to check in the phone itself in Photos app to see which photos are backed up in cloud and which ones are not?
Thank you!!!!! I appreciate you!
How am i exactly freeing up space if the photos are still there?
I did this and all the photos are still on. my phone
Once you hit to sync again, won’t it know you deleted them off the phone and start deleting them off the cloud?
Once you sync off it automatically gets rid of the photos that are saved to the cloud so there for they just reappear I believe if you hit sync
I have an older iPhone that I kept for playing music. It isn’t active (I can’t make calls but I can use it to play music where I have access to Wi-Fi. My question is how can I remove all of my photos from this device only without loosing all of them either in the cloud or on other active devices? Yes I did just watch this entire video but the options on my phone aren’t the same as the phone in your video. I do have them backed up to the cloud so I am safe there (I think). Any help from you would be greatly appreciated! I am subscribed to your channel but I couldn’t find anything that applied to my phone in settings that followed your video.
Thank you!
One of the most clear-cut and easy to follow tutorials I have seen on TH-cam. Thanks bro.
What happens if you want your photos you take to keep uploading to the cloud -- do you have to turn sync back on and will that add all the photos back to your phone?
This is what I want to know to
@@susanfontaine335legit same I need help 😭
Yes I did and it re-downloaded all photos for iCloud to iPhone so no point turning off syncing cuz it will be back if you turn it on if you don’t turn it on the ur new photos won’t be sync to ur iCloud
question. after you turn off "icloud photos" when you take photos, it will not be save on icloud, do i just turn it back on? or manually upload it on icloud?
You are not answering people's questions.
Yep! Hey Trevor!! Can you help let us know if there IS a solution to what everybody is asking??? Or is apple just that lame that they didn’t figure this is ACTUALLY how almost every human being would like the iCloud backup to function.
I'm thinking of getting google photos cloud storage its smart unlike icloud.
I hate why simple things are hard on iphone, iphone sucks
Hi. How I can delete a few photos from my iPhone and keep them in iCloud?
Will this prevent copies of new photos and videos from being saved to iCloud in the future? If so how do I setup to save new ones to iCloud?
That's what I'm wondering.
@@Shanelie same here
Hi Trevor! Big question here. I see it in the comments a lot. What happens if I turn on the Sync toggle after all the photos have been deleted from the phone after syncing with iCloud? Most of us simply want to make space in our phones and want to keep all the storage in iCloud, so we worry that if we turn on the sync toggle, all of the pictures will reappear on our phones. Please help! Thanks.
My question as well
the photos which deleted from the iphone, will reappear on to the iphone when sync is switch back ON. so, the only solution is to transfer the photo to a 3rd party storage, like google drive, or a external SSD hard drive. (I've been to Apple store and asked a few Apple staff)
When you follow his steps and switch the toggle back on, the photos that “reappear” on your gallery are not ACTUALLY BACK on the phone - you’re just seeing the thumbnails of those same photos, which are now stored on iCloud.
They only come back to your phone (in an optimized, lower-resolution version) if you tap to see them in full-screen. This newly downloaded, optimized version, will now be on your device - and the original file will be on iCloud.
Yes, it’s confusing. And yes, the method he showed is a turnaround (as we call in Brazil, “gambiarra”).
Apple should give us an option to free up space from our phones by keeping all our galleries just on iCloud, but they wanna do it automatically, by themselves, as usual
thanks man
thank you!
I did this and why are the photos still on my gallery? If I removed them 🤔
Same here I just did it but still full
is there a way to send only select videos and photos icloud instead of all them
Thank uuuuuu 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks
1:05 I have an iPhone 7. I’m not seeing _sync my/this iPhone._ Is that because my phone is old and/or out of storage? Someone recommended google photos, but I don’t even have enough space for the app. Great video. Thanks.
Im having the same issue. I also have an Iphone 7. I turned off the sync button and it said it would remove the photos from my phone but its still on my phone.
@@gracegardien2891 I’ve only ever had iPhones but my next phone may be an android. Apple is a scam. If we could delete some of their default apps (not just offload) it would give us so much more space. They know this. It’s the feature not the bug. We’re constantly having to buy more storage or a new phone. I don’t see friends with Samsung etc going thru this.
What if you want to still continue to sync photos from your phone to the iCloud? Won’t you have to turn syncing back on, and then repeat the same process. I have a ton of storage on the iCloud but not the iPhone. I’m constantly having to download apps I use everyday because it boots them because storage on my phone is low.
Yes this !!! I also need help with this !
So I just turned the sync on iCloud thing off and obviously everything that had been uploaded to iCloud deleted from my iPhone but remained on my iCloud. When I turned it back on now it’s uploading my remaining photos that weren’t uploaded to my iCloud to my iCloud without the previous ones popping back in my phone.
@@nayelyhernandez9191 so all your old photos are safely stored still? iCloud hasn’t deleted anything after maybe detecting them no longer on the device?
I'm also curious to know if all your old photos are still safe after being deleted from your iPhone, then you turned the sync back on. Thanks! @nayelyherandez9191
Did you all figure this out? I'm curious too. It would be great if the photos just left iPhone and went to iCloud without returning. Do we have to turn on/off sync when we'd like to do this?
But if I don’t want to remove all of them? If I want to remove for example just one video, what should I do then?
Use two different Apple ID’s. One for your iphone, one for your ipad. Or use no apple id on the iphone and use the ipad with an Apple ID.
ok so this was helpful, but what about new photos from beyond this point ? I want them to save to the cloud eventually too - will the just say on my phone or will a new upload start ? If I turn iCloud back on, will all the old phots flood back into my phone ? I kinda wanna start fresh you see, but keep then all
yeah same here... I toggle the photos option back on and every picture comes back to my phone. I simply wanted to clear my albuns, keep them on ICloud and synch the new ones in ICloud too
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW TOO!
How do you do this with mac?
Did anyone do this and be successful? I am afraid to remove all from my phone in case they go from the icloud also
So you've saved those photos to icloud and deleted them form iphone storage,
What if you have new photos/vides captured in iphone and you want to add/upload/save those to icloud?
Is it possible?
How to do it?
what if i want to continue syncing new photos that i take on my phone into my icloud without having all my photos back onto my phone which defeats the purpose as i want to free up space on my iphone.
Never there is anybody who can tell how you can delete one! or a few! from an iphone or ipad.
If you turn sync back on, will it delete photos from the iCloud to match whats on the phone? or pull photos from the iCloud to the phone? which is the data of truth?
have you found out and answer?
That’s exactly what I asked cause that’s what iCloud does. That’s why I guess I will have to use my google photos. The settings can’t be more simple. Says delete from 2:40 phone to clear up space? I just don’t want two clouds but I guess I have to now.
But what happens when I want to upload some more photos from my phone to iCloud? Will it re-download everything to my phone once I turn Sync back on?
Yea that’s what will happen I just tried it
i did this and my photos where still on my iphone
same
Google photos seems to be the answer!
Have same problem
When you toggle off the SYNC button, the message says “Photos and videos that have been optimized to save space will be removed from this iphone”. So its only the OPTIMIZED photos and videos that get removed from the phone, not all of them.
@@buffalo_wings8224 Great answer! Thank you, that cleared that up! Now I have a new question.... once I remove all photos from my iphone (they are safely stored in the icloud)... can I toggle on the 'save to icloud' button again; so that any NEW photos i take will be backe up?
@@JacquelineNewquistit will just make everything as it was back when u firstly turned it off
I did this. The photos stayed where they were
i receommend bypassra1n!
bypasra1n works!
