Share one iCloud among iPhone and iPad for Photos

I take pictures on my iPhone. I take pictures on my iPad. I make use of one AppleID. I configured my iPhone and my iPad to store the pictures on the iCloud.


1) Does Apple ensure that neither one overwrites the photo of the other?

In other words: if the iPhone saves a picture as IMG_0100.JPEG and iPad saves a picture as IMG_0100.JPEG afterwards, does the iPad picture overwrite the previously taken iphone-picture?

(I do not see any namespace concept)


2) If Apple ensure no overwrites, what is the logic?


Thank you

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

No overwriting is done.


The logic is proprietary to Apple.
