icloud photo sharing

Is there a way we can back up photos to icloud without having automatically turned on on phone? Husband doesn't enjoy my 40000 work related photos being on his phone now he turned on icloud photos on his phone.

iPhone XS

You are welcome.


Ridding of Photos from an iPhone:

Which to Do?:

Do you want to export them, or do you just want to trash them?


  • About Exporting Photos:

Go Here: Transfer Photos and Videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC - Apple Support


  • About Trashing Photos:

When it comes to trashing them, with thousands to sort through, the fastest way is to reset your iPhone to Factory Settings, making not of what is installed. It would take some time, but it is the way to go about clear all of it (with out backing it up). Perform as instructed here, including logging out of iCloud on it: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade In your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
