Should you delete photos from your iPhone to reclaim storage space and, if so, how does that affect photo syncing via iCloud Photos?
The short answer is: Probably not! Be careful when deleting photos or videos on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or iCloud web app if you use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photos). Doing so may permanently remove the deleted photos from all devices.
Plus, it is not even necessary in most cases as both iOS and macOS can automatically manage storage space allocated to photos.
Until recently, the base models of Apple’s iOS devices only had 16GB of memory. At the same time, the iPhone became our go-to camera for taking photos and recording videos. As a result, many users ran out of available storage space and thus had to regularly delete or transfer photos and videos.
Then Apple introduced iCloud Photo Library, which keeps all of your photographic memories in sync across all your devices. That’s great because a photo or video you took on your iPhone would automatically appear on your iPad or Mac. Even edits and changes would synchronize seamlessly. Gone are the days of manual synchronization!
In this video, I summarize the main points from my blog post that talks about why you should likely not delete photos or videos from your iOS device to free up storage space.
