HELP?! If I have an apple account on 2 devices...

If I have an apple account on 2 devices, and I delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, the photo will still be on the other device?

On the iOS device where you want to keep the photo do the following (from Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support) :

  • Open Photos, tap Albums, then tap My Photo Stream.
  • Save photos using one of these methods:
    • Tap an image to open it, then tap User uploaded file. To select more images, scroll the images left or right and tap the ones you want to save. Tap Save Image.
    • Tap Select, then tap the images you want to save. Tap User uploaded file, then tap Save Image.


Note the following quote from My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support

When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, it will be removed from Photos and iCloud. The photos you import from My Photo Stream to your other devices won’t be deleted.


It is a good idea to take a new photo that you don't want to keep and then test the above procedure.
