Optimize Photos on mac

If I optimize photos on my mac, will they automatically optimize on my iphone as well? I'm running out of storage on my mac, and so I want to optimize my photos to free up space. However, I don't want my photos optimized on my iphone, just the mac. I have plenty of storage on my phone and I'd rather have the high resolution photos there. I'm just wondering if I optimize photos on my mac, will it also optimize them on my phone since they are synced? Thank you for any info anyone can provide!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi


You can independantly choose optimise on each of your devices. The setting on one device won't impact the setting on your other devices.


This is a long way of saying - no, you can optimise your mac, and your phone will keep the full res images.
