If you are NOT using iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, that is true. iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps every photo and video you take in iCloud, so you can access your library from any device, anytime you want. Any changes you make to your collection on one device (including deletes), change on your other devices too (and in iCloud).

Thank you for confirming my understanding that deleting the photos on my iPhone would also delete them on my other devices. Do you have any idea of what I can do? I am using iCloud on my iPhone and my other MacBook pros (2). Do I download them onto my iPhone from the cloud and then get off of iCloud and the get off of iCloud with photos? Then can I delete them without deleting them from my other devices? Thank you for helping me 🙂
