If I delete photos from my phone it deletes then from icloud - I realise thats standard behaviour but how do I stop the photos uploaded to icloud from being deleted ? I need to free space on my phone but retain my photos in icloud.....
Cheers
Hi punyelroo,
I hope the following passage answers your question:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

Thanks David, however my phone is set that way already and photos deleted from my phone are still deleted from icloud.....
Hi punyelroo,
of course, photos will be deleted if you are pushing the button. The Apple support document states, that iCloud will manage that automatically for you.

Its daft - seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do to me.
Oh well, cancel my icloud account I guess - next to useless as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks anyway for the feedback - appreciate it !
Hi punyelroo,
alright.
With kind regards,
