I just updated my iPhone 6s to ios 9.2.1, and every time I try to delete photos from the iPhone library, it says they're going to delete from the iCloud Photo Library on all devices. I don't want this to happen, I want to save the pictures on my computer, but clear space on my phone. Help!
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2.1
If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on in the iPhone then any photo you delete from the phone will also be deleted from iCloud and from all devices connected to that iCloud Photo Library. There isn't a setting or option where you can change that while continuing to use iCloud Photo Library. You can reduce the space required on the phone by turning on Settings > iCloud > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage. You can suggest that Apple offer more options via: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

As FoxFifth explained, this is not possible, if you are using iCloud Photo LIbray. Then iCloud will manage your storage. With optimize storage enabled, iCloud Photo Library will ally use all available free storage, but remove photos,if storage is needed for other tasks.
If you want to manage the storage on your iPhone yourself, do it the old-fashioned way.
How do I delete photos from my iPhone 6s, without deleting them from iCloud Photo Library on all of my devices with ios 9.2.1?
