Q: If I activate Optimise iPhone Storage, will I still be able to do backups to computer and Google Photos?

Hi everyone,

 

I want to activate 'optimize iphone storage' to free up space in my photos app.

 

However I do frequent backups to my MacBook through the Photos app, and also to my Google Photos. If I activate this function and store the low resolution photos locally, will this affect my backup approach? OR does iCloud only store low res photos for older photos (date older than x which have already been backed up).

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Regards,

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.1
