Re: [iPad] ICloud Photos vs IPhone/iPad

 

This is from the support article I posted a few days ago and you can check your photos in the cloud by logging on to iCloud:

Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?

iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:

  • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
  • On your Mac, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting. 

If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them. 

If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

What I want to do is be able to store all my photos in iCloud and not have them on my iPad at all. Since there is no small cloud picture in the bottom right corner of each of my photos (as there is in iTunes when looking at my purchased movies) to indicate each photo is only in iCloud and not on my iPad, are photos stored in iCloud and my iPad?

Perhaps this article will answer your questions, but if not, there is a link at the bottom of the article to post your questions in Apple Support Communities:

I have Google this question and have come up with no answers. I hope someone here can answer my question.

How can I tell if certain photos are on my iPhone/iPad or in iCloud?

I would like to clear up some space on both iPhone and iPad and put all photos in iCloud.
