Photo management on iPhone
I'm new to iPhone after a decade on Windows Mobile and struggling with photo management. I can't possibly believe Apple would have made this so difficult so I must be missing something.
So, I take photos with my phone. They get stored on the phone and my iCloud account. Phone fills up. I import photos from my phone to my PC. Seems easy enough.
Nope! You can't delete photos on the phone using the PC because you don't have permissions (supposedly because iCloud). And if you delete the photos using the phone they delete from iCloud?
What am I missing here? Your options are to either not use iCloud so you can remove them from your phone via PC or only have the pictures there that are actually on your phone?
