Settings -> General -> Airplay & Handoff -> disable “Handoff” ... hopes this helps everyone who’s device doesn’t show the option to toggle “upload photos to my stream” or whatever

The “upload photos to my stream” toggle isn’t on my settings page.

Nice tutorial, thank you! But I want my iPhone and iPad photos to sync to iCloud, but not to each other. How to do this?

[andrewbolton]

Is it possible to use iCloud storage for both devices using the same Apple ID but not share the photos on each device ?

[raknax]

I’m confused so if I turn on “upload to my photo stream will that stop the pictures from going to another device help me lolll

Hey there, I want to upload an save my pictures on iCloud but without being shared with my other devices. Unfortunately, my photos are currently stored in iCloud, but at the same time they are spread and synchronized on all my other devices. How can I turn the sync off but still continue saving my photos in iCloud? Thanks for your help:)

Here is the solution that works for me:
Settings (on your old iPhone which is you do not want to sinc photos) >Apple ID> iCloud> Photos> select Download and Keep Originals > turn off iCloud Photos > Remove from iPhone.

Hey thanks for this video but i have another question, I bought a new iphone and i want to sing in my iCloud but I don’t want to transfer photos on the new one. What should i do?

I'm scared to have my own google photos because my mom will whoop me and say I'm hiding something :(

I'm 12 and have nothing to hide. I just want her to respect my privacy. Is it weird that I'm a 12 yr old wanting to have privacy or is it normal? Idk if its bad to not share photos with your own mom

Hi, I have turned off “upload to my phone stream” on both devices. But photos from my phone are still appearing on my iPad and taking up space.
I need my photos saved to my iCloud so I do not want this turned off.
How else can I stop the photos from my phone appearing on my iPad?

Apps I download on my phone also appear on the iPad too and I do not want this happening either.
They both use the same Apple ID.

[briannablunt]

If I turn off the iCloud photos setting how would I back it up under wifi. I’m not really a fan of connecting the phone to the computer. I just recently tried to clear up my iCloud because it was practically full and kept getting that message to upgrade so I followed a video and I think I lost some of my pictures and videos. When it said to delete the back up. My last back up was in March. So I don’t know if those pictures and videos are in the cloud. So I just upgraded my cloud storage. Until I can figure out how to clear my cloud to a hard drive then erase my cloud. But I need to stop sharing my stuff with my kids devices

I’m really lost. I use my moms Apple ID and our photos synced together so she can see all of mine and vice versa. How do u stop that?

[aggresses]

If i’m using the same iCloud device with someone... I delete a photo from my phone, will the photo delete from the other persons device as well?

[phatma]

I want to ask you if I delete the photo from my iPad that is already in my iPhone it’s will delete from my phone also?

[Thetobbyshow]

Is there a way to automatically delete all photos from their device?
