If I delete my iPhone photos they get deleted on iCloud?
I'm told that when you delete photos from your iPhone that they'll also get deleted from iCloud. This may be a stupid question, but what is the point of iCloud if it only stores what's currently on your device? And even worse, why pay for additional storage in iCloud if it will only store the same amount of memory that your phone holds? As an example - If my iPhone will hold 256GB of data, and I delete 100GB, and that 100GB of data is also deleted from iCloud - what would be the point in paying for additional storage?? What am I missing?? If I'm going to pay for storage I want every photo I take to stay on the cloud whether I delete it from my device or not. Only when I delete it directly from the cloud should the data be gone.
