deleting photos on iPad only, to create storage space

my 8th generation ipad is running out of storage space. Can i delete photos on it without deleting them from my iPhone? I take photos on the phone and they automatically get on to Photos on my iPad, but are taking up too much space there.



iPad 2, iOS 9

You can but you'll first need to turn off iCloud Photos (settings > photos). You might also want to optimize your library first in the same settings to free space.
