When i turn off ICloud photos, I get a window asking me if I want to download a copy of ICloud photos to the phone. (I want to keep what is on the phone as it is. And I have optimize storage on ).
then it says Photos and videos that have been optimized to save space will be removed from the phone.
next I am given two choices.
Remove from phone
and
Download photos and Videos
I assume that I am supposed to download the photos and videos.
this is confusing to me. It sounds like all the photos on the phone will be taken off because they are already optimized.
if I have I cloud photos turned off to the ICloud what happens if I have to reset the phone or get a new phone. How does the phone get my pictures that are on it before resetting?
when I had IOS 14.8 was ICloud photos turned off? I had no problems manually moving my photos to my iMac.
Was this something that changed in the way the new IOS works, or was it something that got turned on when it downloaded?
