If you’re using the “Optimize iPhone Storage” feature, you’ll see a pop-up asking whether you want to download a copy of your iCloud Photos to your iPhone. Once your photos are securely downloaded and backed up, tap the toggle next to the “iCloud Photos” option to disable the feature. You can still retrieve your data by reenabling the feature and using the “Download and Keep Originals” option. Apple will keep a copy of your data for 30 days, so don’t worry. If you’re using iCloud Photos on a separate device (like Mac or iPad), the original, full-resolution versions will still be available on other devices that are using iCloud Photos.īut the photos will be removed from your current device.
