If you have enabled Photos in iCloud, your photos will be synchronised between your devices; any photographs taken on either device, or deleted from a device, will be synchronised with iCloud and other devices that are signed-in with the same AppleID.


Disabling Photos in iCloud permits independent management of your photos on each device.


These support pages describe synchronisation of photos between iCloud and your devices. It follows that in understanding these features, you can selectively disable synchronisation features to suit your specific needs:
