Deleting photos after transfer

12 years ago • updated 11 years ago • 3

Hi there,
I was wondering after you transfer your photos from the camera roll location on an iPhone 4 to a new-album in an iPad mini, if you delete the photo on the IPhone will this delete the same photo on the iPad if both devices are operated under the same apple account when they synchronise?
I worried that once I have transferred the photos across from my phone to my iPad mini using your app that if I delete them on my phone to create space It will delete them on my iPad mini as well? Please advise.

Thanks
Manda.

Hello Amanda,

Thank you for posting your question with us, I will be happy to assist you!

Once the photos are transferred to your device they are transferred over completely. Our app cannot delete or remove anything from your device. Any videos or photos you want to remove you will have to delete manually :)

So if you delete your photos on one device it will not delete then on the other.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions!

Best,

The storing of photos in this system is really not great, I have managed to save some photos and develop albums for them however it seems you than have duplicate all over the place, then you try and delete the photos that aren't in an album and all copies get deleted which sort of makes it pointless having albums.
Can you help, Thanks

Hello Robert,

Unfortunately that's how Apple has decided to handle albums. When you put photos into an album with our app it will also copy them to the camera roll as well which, as a result, makes duplicates. If you delete the photo from the camera roll it will also delete it 'everywhere'. We wish it was handled differently as well, but unfortunately we can't do anything about that.

Please let us know if you have any other questions! Will be happy to assist you with our app :)

Best,
