Thanks! And this is true even if I do restore an old backup from icloud? in my case - I have an old backup (June 2020) but photos and videos uploaded to icloud as latest as Nov 2020.. So just trying to ensure that I restore backup from June and still have photos retained from Nov in icloud. I understand I wont have them on the phone storage
