• If you deactivate iCloud Photos on a single device, photos taken on that device don't sync with your iCloud Photo Library, and new photos from other devices don't appear on it.
• If you're done with the "not enough iCloud storage" iOS notifications or want to avoid long-term cloud storage for security reasons, here's a detailed tutorial on how to turn off iCloud Photos for one or all of your devices.
• To compensate for the lack of cloud backup, regularly perform photo backups to external hard drives or use alternative secure services like Google Photos to ensure your photos are safely stored and retrievable when needed.
• For example, if you turn off iCloud Photos on your work MacBook, those work photos no longer sync automatically to your cloud storage.
• If you switch off iCloud Photos on all your devices, you prevent any of your personal or sensitive photos from being uploaded to the cloud.
• When you sync multiple devices with iCloud, turning off iCloud Photos might risk losing valuable photos.
