Remove iCloud downloads from iPhone, but not from iCloud itself

Hello,

I recently started uploading all my photo's en video's to iCloud to create a cloud-based back-up next to using an external hard drive. On my MacBook Pro I can right click a file or folder stored in iCloud and select 'Remove download' (after I downloaded it to view or edit the files locally). This way I free up space on my MacBook and actually only use my iCloud-storage.

After showing a few old photo's to my friends, downloaded from iCloud to my iPhone, I wanted to delete the downloads, just like I do on my MacBook. However, this does not seem possible. The only solutions I have read is to log out from, or stop syncing iCloud, on my iPhone and log back in/start syncing again.

This seems like a bit of a hassle for something that should be easy to do. Or am I missing something that does allow me to remove downloads from my iPhone the way it is possible on my MacBook? If not, is this something that Apple can implement? I am kinda of hesitant accessing iCloud files on my iPhone if I cannot (easily) delete them from local storage.

Looking forward to a reply!
