To unsync photos between iPhones using the same Apple ID, you need to turn off iCloud Photos on the specific device you want to stop syncing, which prevents new changes from syncing and offers options to keep or remove existing photos from that device, effectively separating its photo library from the others. This process involves going to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Photos and toggling it off, choosing your preference for downloaded originals when prompted.
You can delete photos from your iPhone but keep them in iCloud by turning off iCloud photo sharing. You can also use a different iCloud account to keep the previous account's iCloud photos safe. Another solution is to use a different cloud server, like Dropbox or OneDrive, to back up the photos.
Go to Settings > Accounts > iCloud. Under Photos, press Select to turn off iCloud Photos.
Part 2: Turn Off iCloud Photos without Deleting Everything
On your iPhone, tap "Settings" > "[your name]" > "iCloud" > "Photos". Step 2. Then choose "Remove from iPhone" or "Download Photos & Videos".
Yes, if you use iCloud Photos (iCloud Photos), deleting a photo from your iPhone will also delete it from iCloud and all other synced devices because it's a sync service, not just a backup; it removes the item from the entire library. You can choose to stop syncing before deleting to keep them in iCloud, but then new photos won't sync. To free up space while keeping originals in iCloud, use the "Optimize iPhone Storage" feature in Photos settings.
iCloud Drive is a file storage and sharing service, while iCloud Photos is a photo and video storage service. Both services use strong encryption to protect your data, and they share the same storage space. The choice between the two depends on your specific needs and preferences.
Using the same Apple ID, Google account, or cloud storage service can make your husband's phone look linked to yours. Other things that can create the same effect include shared albums, file-sharing features, location sharing, or third-party apps that sync across devices.
Creation of New Apple IDs
Another way to effectively split up the main Apple ID account is to create new Apple IDs for family members who don't have third-party email addresses. This includes your kids even if you've already created aliases for them in the main Apple ID.
Disabling iCloud Drive will stop syncing files to your device, potentially freeing up storage space. However, keep in mind that any files already synced to your device will remain unless you choose to delete them.
For Apple Users
Apple recommends that you do not share your Apple Account. Instead, set up Family Sharing so that each person uses their own Apple Account. This way, your family can share purchases, subscriptions, and more without sharing personal information like email, text messages, or passwords.
You do not have to create a new ID. When you activate the new phone, just don't restore the backup of the iPad or don't download your purchased content to the device. You can go to Settings>iCloud>Photos>My Photo Stream>Off and any photos that you take with the phone will not transfer to the iPad.
How to separate our Apple IDs and share things explicitly?
When you delete photos and videos, they go to your Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, they'll be permanently deleted. If you use iCloud Photos, and delete photos and videos from one device, the photos and videos will be deleted on your other devices.
