[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1942371, member: 83420"] Honestly, I mean no offence; but your lady does NOT, repeat, Not have to go anywhere near iCloud to view her photos. They will always be on her iPhone - until she deletes any. I, truthfully, can't recall when I last Logged In to iCloud. I have 2+ thousand pictures and videos within the Apple Photos app which are backed up to various sources, but synced and backed up to iCloud. If I want to view a pic/video, there they are on my iPhone, my iPad and my Mac. There, you do have a valid point. Yes, she accidentally deletes a pic/video and yes that is reflected in iCloud -[B] BUT after 30 days.[/B] That is, anything she deletes on her iPhone is "saved" for 30 days. If she opens her iPhone, Taps on Photos, then at the bottom of the screen, Taps on Albums, she only need to scroll down to the bottom where the final album is "Recently Deleted". And there they will remain till the 30 days are up. (incidentally, that's also true if a pic/vid is deleted from any Mac Device including a Mac computer: there is a recently deleted Album on all Devices) And this is true of iCloud as well. They are held in the "Recently Deleted" Album there for ditto days. So really, there is no reason to worry about an accidental deletion. Others can confirm if you doubt my comments if you require that.:);) Ian [/QUOTE]
