Q: How do I delete all the photos on iPhone yet keep them safely stored in ipad?

Please help me to find a way to protect my photos....I need to delete photos from my iPhone to create memory space. However every time I do this the photos are automatically deleted off the iPad albums as well via sync on iCloud.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1, Ipad2

    If they are photo stream photos, save them to the camera roll on your iPad before deleting them from your phone.  (Only photo stream photos are deleted from your iPad when you delete them from your phone.)

     

    To do this, open the photo stream album on your iPad, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.
