I'm a little suspicious as I'm trying to make space for 8.1 that I am! I got G+ thankfully. I'm a bit confused.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Your "my photo stream" deletes photos after 30 days anyway. But I don't think deleting from the camera roll affects the stream. You might make sure you save the photos wherever you're streaming them to. Then delete them from the photo stream. Photos in the photo stream take space on your phone's storage. So if you're making room for whatever, delete the stream too. Just save the photos first. Where are you streaming the photos to?I'm a little suspicious as I'm trying to make space for 8.1 that I am!

Oh how simple lol! The rest usually go where now? Another G+ user. I heard Clayton Morris talk about it and I got on. I don't even use the social, I do fb & Twitter. Didn't seem to take off with my friends. I tried when it first came out. Actually hardly any are on Twitter either! I heard that photos is gonna go standalone. So just having them in G+ I could just clean off my camera roll or since I hadn't update yet I guess it's my photo library?
That's not right BC I have stuff from more than 30 days even a year!
You probably haven't set up your phone as new in that long either. Thoss photos in your photo stream that are more than 30 days old are saved to your phone storage. If you turn the photo stream off for a few minutes and turn it back on you'll see those photos gone.
I've got photos on my iPod's photo stream dating back to the 17th of July, and I've only had my iPod since the 24th of this month, which was setup as new when I got it & updated to 8.1 & I've only taken about 2 photos with my iPod.
If old photos don't exist in the Photo stream when the device has been setup as new how have I still got them, or is it something to do with the fact that I'm using iCloud Photo Library (Beta)?
