Delete photos from iPhone but not iCloud
This has probably been asked a thousand times but can anyone point me in the direction of a way to delete the photos on my iPhone but not the iCloud? Thank you 🙂
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

You cannot delete photos from your iPhone without deleting them from iCloud. The purpose of iCloud is to automatically sync your photos to your phone, and any other device you may have. If you turn on Optimized Storage for iCloud, then it will only save smaller thumbnail versions of the photos on your device which will reduce the amount of storage required.
