Unsync photos from mac to iphone I am having trouble deleting my photos from my phone - there's no option to delete them at all - and after some research, I have come to the conclusion that its because they are synced to my Mac, How do I unsync these photos so I can delete them and clear up space in my storage??

Can I delete photos on my iPhone but still have them on my MacBook Air? I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and I am 1 gig short from using all the space on this device. I need to free up space so I am able to have more. I have iCloud, linked to and from my phone and Macbook Air. What I am wondering is, if there is a way where I can delete the photos on my phone but still have them on my Macbook? Any help would be gratefully accepted, its to the point where I can't even take photos. Thanks! GM
