Deleting photos from Google Photos

Is there an option when I delete photos on the iPhone and it will automatically delete on Google Photos?

Of course, the Google application is on the iPhone

Thank you

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

How to delete google photos without deleting from iphone / cloud I just realized all my photos from my iphone are on google photos (which I never used voluntarily). Google will not allow me to just delete my photos from google, it insists on deleting on all devices and cloud. I stopped syncing/backup and have tried everything to delete but the delete button will NOT work on the web. I even downloaded the google photos app but when I delete, it says it will delete it everywhere. I feel like I'm being held hostage - how do I get this done???

Delete Google photos also deleted iPhoto this is a little confusing, so I hope I’m explaining properly. Every single picture I take with my iPhone saves a copy to the Google photo app. That is filling up and they want to charge for storage. I thought I could delete photos out of Google and then unhook it from my Apple photos but when I did that I double checked my iPhoto‘s and they were gone from there as well. Why is a deletion from a Google photo app deleting from my iPhoto??

If I delete all of my photos from my photo app will they still be saved in google photos? If I delete my photos from the Apple photo app to save storage space will they also be deleted from google photos?

I thought so too but that's not what actually happens, what happens is that I delete photos on my iPhone and it stays on Google

You don't need an option if your Google account with Google Photos is running. Once you delete a photo(s) on your iPhone they are also deleted from Google Photos as I have found.
