iCloud Backup

I don’t want to backup my photo library, but trying to turn it off shows “Do you want to turn off Photo Library backups and delete

the backup data from iCloud?”so does it mean it will delete the photos that are currently in my iCloud?

Hi shomesshwar!

Keep your photos and videos up to date with iCloud Photos


Cheers!
