Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

iCloud's optimize storage setting as well as image deletion.

I have recently turned on the "optimize iPhone storage" option since my device was running out of storage. I would like to know whether if recently shot images will now start losing its quality and whether if theses images if i now upload (to Instagram for example) will be in low resolution.


Also i would like to know if its possible to delete photos from my camera roll without it automatically deleting from my iCloud.


Thank You,

Kevin

As soo as you open an image on your iPhone it will open in full resolution even though it is stored as low resolution. It gets the data from iCloud over internet.


So all sharing will be full resolution. Have a good internet connection.
