Macbook air had been updated, and now all folders that are in photos (not previously on phone) have appeared and cant be deleted with out also being deleted off photos on Macbook. I am unsure why this has happened and / or how to now stop this form happening
iPhone 11 Pro Max
iCloud Photos is intended to keep the Photos Libraries on all your devices identical.
As long as you are using iCloud Photos on the iPhone and your Mac, do not delete any photo an any device, that you want to keep on your Mac.
If you do not want the same photos on your iPhone as on your Mac and in iCloud, disable iCloud Photos on your iPhone, so you can revert to a selective syncing using a USB connection.
Alternately, you could enable "Optimise iPhone Storage" for Settings > Photos > iCloud > iCloud Photos. Then Photos will no longer download all photos in the full resolution to your iPhone, but you will still be able to see all photos and albums on your iPhone.
Thank you! That is what I thought! Is there any way to get the photos that have transferred to iphone from Macbook off the iphone without them deleting? They have only appeared after this most recent update!
Hi - Are you syncing via iCloud? Or via a USB cable?
Hi I believe by iCloud
Why has Macbook air transferred all photos onto iphone into individual folder?
