Yes and No, Optimized iPad Storage is enabled by default. By the way, this is also the case on the iPhone.


This means that you will have access to a small version of your photos, which does not take up much space. The original version of your Photos will be securely stored in iCloud. But if the iPad has to handle thousands of small files, then it will take up some space, but with the above function activated, the iPad itself makes sure that it does not run wild.


Go to Settings -> Photos and make sure Optimized iPad Storage is enabled.
