If I delete pictures from PHOTOS will they remain in the SHARED ALBUMS?

I have 30,000 photos presently on my iPhone

I just ran out of space


I have many Shared Albums that I could add them to, but if I delete pictures from PHOTOS will they remain in the SHARED ALBUMS?

If the iPhone has an Apple Lightnng connection port, you can use a SanDisk iXpand flash drive to use as an external hard drive. They are available in various sizes.

You can also use that iXpand flash drive as a tool to save the photos to a real external hard drive afterwards.

iXpand Flash Drive are available at Apple Store and at Apple Authorized Service Providers.

iXpand flash drive app can be downloaded from the App Store.

No, the photos in the Shared albums that's a quick link form your photos in Photos.
