If I turn off iCloud photo library, do my photos still get included in my general iPhone backups?

I don't want to use iCloud photo library at all so I have turned it off.


Do the photos I now keep stored locally on my phone still get included in the general phone backups? Or are they excluded?


thanks

They are included when iCloud Photo Library is off, and excluded when the iCloud Photo Library is turned on. You can see the option to manually include or exclude in Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Store > iPhone > Look at the bottom.
