Photo sharing

Hello so I just got a new iPhone and I’m using the same Apple ID for both. When I take/delete a picture from one phone it does the same with the other. Does anybody know how to stop syncing it? Thank youu

Photos from one phone to the other Hi, so I have the iPhone 7 and iPhone 11 Pro and they are both logged in under my iCloud (since I use both of them) but I was wondering if there was a way to stop photos that I take on my 11 from showing up on my 7. I have photo stream off so i know that isn’t the issue. I also have my iPad linked with iCloud but I don’t have this problem. Please help

Stop syncing photos with iCloud. iCloud is a syncing system, not an external storage system. For what you want to do, you need a different cloud based solution such as Dropbox, OneDrive, or Flicker.
