So from what I have gotten from this video is by selecting (Download and keep originals )is better vs optimize iphone storage. When it comes to turning off iCloud photos, it will not remove your photos from your device ,but I think it does remove your Photos from iCloud overall if that makes sense. I think it’s like your photos are not going be backed up, but they will remain on your device, now it may keep your photos on your device or it may delete them at the 30 day mark. What I like to do is have Google Photos app on my phone and back up my iPhone pictures there to keep everything saved. I have been doing this for years since 2016 and it has saved every last photo/ video that I have wanted to save and keep forever. I feel like it’s a better alternative than keeping your photos in your iCloud photos. This way I know for a fact, my photos will not go anywhere and if you wanted to ,you could delete all photos from iCloud photos after they have successfully backed up to Google Photos. Also, I would like to add that I am trying to clear up iPhone storage and I deleted most of my pictures from my iCloud photos. I have 37 attachments in my iCloud photos, but it’s still saying in my iPhone storage that photos are taking up majority of my space and I have deleted most of them. And yes, I have removed my photos from recently deleted as well and it just seems like the storage level is not going down for my photos. Any tips?
This might seem like a dumb question, but I just wanna confirm. If I delete the photos on iCloud, it won’t delete the photos on the photos app, correct? From my understanding it’ll just delete the copies and not the content in my gallery, so I wanna make sure.
any update because im in the same boat, I want all of the photo data to be deleted after the 22 day because its taking 30 gb of my phone space when I only have like 1 gb of photos in my gallery
@@angelmakima I worked with these, if you delete photos off of icloud, they will be removed off of the iphone. It may go to recently deleted, which if you want off the phone/icloud completely you gotta remove it from there too. Basically Icloud photos is used a way to sync your devices together, not as a complete backup service.
@@TheAshishJust Try clicking “download and keep originals,” but by doing so, you’ll need enough storage on your iPhone to download all the original photos from iCloud. If you don't have enough storage on your iPhone, you might need to clean up a bit, otherwise, you will not be able to keep your photos. hope this helps, I'm still figuring mine as well
Can I keep Photos on my iPhone while removing them from iCloud. I have plenty of space on my phone but my iCloud is full and so now they won’t let my email work because my iCloud is full
I can’t remember exactly. I know I turned off iCloud photos and stuff though and i still have all my photos on my phone and my email is working. The photos and videos that are the most important to me I just make sure I have a copy both on my phone and on my iPad. Basically I guess I’m betting that my iPhone and iPad won’t go down at the same time.
i cant toggle off “icloud photos” the only option i have on ios 16.4.1 on 13 pro is to toggle “sync this iphone” for icloud photos. but i wanna delete all pics from icloud and still have it stored on my actual device. but like others when i try to “turn off and delete from icloud” it tells me i have 30 days to recover photos before it permanently deletes. how do i just save pics on my iphone and get rid of it on icloud😭
If I imported my photos from my phone to my MacBook, will the photos delete off my phone but stay on my MacBook even if they both share the same Apple ID?
@@bulansalyapradit are you for real? cus i'll be doing the same. 😭 since since i have already used 4.3 gb out of 5gb of my iCould storage 🥲. also, did that lessen your iCloud storage space when you turned it off?
I just bought iPhone 15 with 1TB storage, my I cloud with 5 GB is still active, can you please tell me what happens when I turn off iCloud , can I download my photos and videos to my iPhone?
Hi so my iPhone pictures keeps going to my brothers phone and we share a I cloud so I wanna delete my I cloud can u do a tutorial on how to stop letting my pictures and his pictures go to mine and his phone thank you
There’s a similar prompt when logging out of iPhone and it’s not clear AT ALL that you will lose notes/reminders that are only stored on the phone. Why is this even a option? Obviously Apple should just keep on the phone what’s not saved anywhere. Not sync , matching to the nothing in the cloud.
I want space on my mums phone this one so I can do stuff on it but I don’t want photos to be deleted and there’s ALOT of photos 2021-2024 so how can I remove anything I don’t need to make space but keep my photos/my mums photos safe?
What a mess Apple. Icloud is a BACKUP not a source. My photos are duplicated to icloud for safety. Deleting them from local storage through a "backup" process should not be an option. You default Photo backup to ON and make deleting the backup COPY complicated to we buy more storage. Evil. Just evil.
Hi Queen Jayy! To keep your photos and videos when turning off iCloud, make sure to download everything to your device first. You can do this by going to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Photos, then select "Download and Keep Originals." After that, you can safely turn off iCloud Photos! 👌
This shit is fuckin frustrating bro like I can’t just remove my photos and vids from my phone but I don’t have any storage and a cant properly delete my shit because it’ll just reappear and none of my videos are working on my photo library so I’m just stuck in this stupid predicament where I either have to delete like 85% of my shit permanently off the face of the earth or just be stuck with no storage and my videos not working FUCK APPLE
HI! Can someone help me? When I turn off the icloud photos it doesn’t show the download and keep original photos option. It says cannot download photos and videos. HELP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
How u turn it back on? Cuz every time I try it says more I cloud needed and upgrade options without just simply turning back on after it deleted plenty of videos it’s annoying. wishing I didn’t turn it off without more context.
Someone answer me!!! okay i dont get it?? So, if i turn off icould photos, only in pictures from recently deleted pics will be deleted in 30days, right?? Nothing will happen to the pics from normal Album, right???
I’m going to do this too but I just want to confirm before I do it too, so when you turned off iCloud Photos it didn’t delete all your photos from your recents, right? And It only deleted from your recently deleted albums sorry I just want to make sure I don’t want my photos to be deleted from my recents in 30 days!
wait did you click the delete from iphone version and not the download right? i mean after you turn of syncing and those 2 options pop up..trying to separate the 2 but scared photos from phone will get lost@@remona6
Should have the option to pick and choose what to send to icloud
This video is confusing. A lot of us are trying to turn off iCloud but keep our pictures. If we turn it off. How do we keep them?
have u figured out a solution?
@@fatboi3717 just go to setting then photos and turn off the iCloud (it wont delete any of the photos on your phone)

if you get a new phone and back it up with icloud and you erase icloud photos, does it erase the photos on the previous phone?

if i turn it off and remove how much time do i have to turn it back on?
30 days

If it's possible to turn off syncing one album from photos? Not entire Photos.
What about a remote storage device? I’d rather use one of those than iCloud because Apple is charging me $1.99 per month.
Didn’t get the options you initially mentioned after toggling off😢
I don’t want to pay $1.99 per month for iCloud. Who else has to pay?
This prompt solely refers to the iCloud media that’s on the phone, not those only on the phone.
