iCloud syncing security

Hi, If I have deselected icloud photos on my ipad, when i delete photos on my ipad, will they stay on my other devices? I want to make sure that I’m able to keep the photos on my phone but don’t want them on my iPad. Thanks!

How to delete synced photos on iPad without affecting iPhone in iCloud sync? I have an iPhone and an iPad that currently have a bunch of photos synced via iCloud. I don’t want my phone photos on my iPad and vice versa. I have just turned off iCloud syncing on my iPad but I want to make sure is it now safe to delete them from my iPad? My brain tells be it’s fine because it is no longer syncing so it should not affect my phone at all.. Also if I ever decide to turn it back on on my iPad will I then loose all of my phone photos? A few threads I read elsewhere said that this would likely happen once it re-syncs. Thanks for any insight. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: iPad/iPhone photo sync

If you turn off iCloud on a device, then, to iCloud, it's like turning the device off. iCloud doesn't delete anything when you turn off your iPad or if you turn off iCloud on your iPad. The iPad no longer syncs with iCloud.com and your other devices, so they won't know what you do with it.
