Delete from Camera Roll vs iCloud shared album

Hi everyone,
I am trying to figure out whether or not photos that I delete from my Camera Roll (to free up space) will also be deleted from Shared Albums (via iCloud Photo Sharing) with family members.
Looking forward to your responses.
Freerk

Hi iFredo,
Pictures shared with a Share Photo Stream are not deleted by deleting them from your camera roll on your device. They must be deleted from the stream manually. See this article -
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Is there any way I can recover deleted pictures from Camera Roll and iCloud? Please please help me. All of my precious pictures are gone that I can never EVER get back. I dont have any iCloud or Camera Roll backup; and my PC can't download more software.

Hi everyone! I'm in need of extreme help. You see, today, two months ago I went out of the country from the United States of America. I took about 1500 pictures ONLY on my iPod touch. When I returned to the United States to my home, I accidentally deleted a little more than 100 pictures. Then, thinking I could get ALL of the pictures back at once, I restored my iPod touch from an iCloud backup I had a couple of days before. Instead of getting all of my pics back, they all got erased. The pictures that I did delete were deleted from Camera Roll AND Photo Stream (iCloud). Then, I was only able to get about 500 pictures back from iCloud. So about 1000 are still gone. When i did the restore, I thought all my pictures would be there, but they weren't and I couldn't possibly figure out why; because a restore from iTunes or iCloud is supposed to restore your device to the settings of the time you backed up your device. All of my other settings were just the way they were supposed tone for the time being, all except my pictures, which contained not one picture in any folder. So EVERYTHING from Cameta Roll was gone, and only about 500 pictures survived. I kept retoring and restoring, hoping they would come back but unfortunately they didn't. Then one time a restored again, I saw all of them back!! But then, within a blink of an eye, they disappeared as soon as I tapped on one picture. Then, I knew they were still in reach, but I just had to find them. Where could those 1000 pictures go? I looked up how to recover deleted photos, but I have to install a software. My computer CANNOT possibly take anymore software on it, my PC is very sensitive and I cannot delete anything off of it. Please please help me. What can I do to get my pictures back? They are memories that I can never EVER EVER get back. Thank you so much.

Please please help me, if you know how.

HT201317 I add all photos taken on camera roll to individual albums. However, once a photo is deleted from camera roll, it's also deleted from the albums where it also resides. Is there a way to delete or clear out the camera roll but keep them in albums?

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

You can't. It doesn't work that way.
the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
Any ideas/advice?

Thanks for your comments.
I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

How did the photos get onto the phone ? Only photos taken with the phone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the device. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete f

Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll. The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures. Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library. But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

How can I put selected pictures from camera roll into a seperate album removing them completly from camera roll??

Im gunna be straight up honest here.. I have some rude pictures of my girlfriend on my iphone which I would like to keep for my own personal viewing but obviously dont want family and friends seeing when they are flicking threw my camera album which often happens. I had intended to make a private album put them all in there and put a passcode on the album. With all of apples features I would of thought this would be a standard thing you could do, however when I made the private album the pictures were still in my camera roll and if I try to delete them I am told the pictures will be removed completly from my phone.. This is stupid. What is the point in being able to make albums if the pictures are going to still all be in the camera roll!? Does anybody know of a way I can move pictures from camera roll to a private album?? Any help would be much appreciated.

Photos placed in a user created album or in an existing album are not copied/duplicated. The photos placed in an album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Camera Roll. Having an album for select photos is for viewing the select photos only without having to see all photos in the Camera Roll.
The same applies to albums transferred from your computer. All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. Photos on the albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos appear as they are duplicated when they are not. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos on the Photo Library or Camera Roll by selecting it.

How do I copy photos from Camera Roll to personal photo album? iPhone 4 and pc

I have an iPhone 4 and use pc....
I want to copy a few pics from Camera Roll to my personal album. I'd like to copy them and then remove them from Camera roll. Then, I'd like to be able to organize folders in my personal album so I don't have to look through all 500 pics to find what I'm looking for. The pictures on my pc are in folders but they all get put together in one folder on the phone. I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance. Ü

This forum is broken into lots of different categories for all the various applications and devices that Apple makes.
You've posted a Question about the iPhone and Windows.
But this is the iPhoto forum - and iPhoto is an app that runs on neither the iPhone nor Windows.
So, click on the link above and ask your question there. That's where it needs to be asked so you can get help.

How to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

how to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

I have been trying to figure out a work aroundof this issue too. It defeats the purpose of photo stream in my eyes.
You can copy a picture from your photo stream to your camera roll and then crop, etc. But you can't then file that picture into a folder of your choice!?!?!?! If I have to file the picture on my computer and then resync to do it then photo stream is mostly pointless!!!

Managing photos on iPhone and iPad - deleting from camera roll

I have a iPhone 4s and an iPad Air, but no laptop or desk top. All my photos are currently saved on my phone and I need to clear space. Is it possible to delete photos from camera roll but still have them permanently saved in another album or on iCloud? Deleting them from camera roll, on iPhone or iPad, seems to delete them from everywhere.

When you delete a photo from the camera roll it is deleted from any albums that contain it. This is because the albums don't contain actual photos; they only contain links to the photo in the camera roll. When the cameral roll photo is deleted, the link to it is removed form any albums as well.
Also, photos only remain in my photo stream for 30 days, and if you delete a photo stream photo from your device it is also deleted from iCoud and all other devices.
Photos added to a shared stream will remain in iCloud indefinitely, the will be at a lower resolution than the original. And the shared stream album will also remain on your phone.
For all these reasons, you can really use iCloud to archive your photos and free up space on your device. Instead, import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you want to be able to still view them, get a Flikr account (or similar) so you can view them as a gallery from the web.

HT201317 Will photos deleted from camera roll be deleted in photo stream?

There is so many contradicting answers online! I just want to take more photos and keep the ones I have. So, if I delete my camera roll, with the photo stream "backed-up" w/ iCloud, will the photos in photo stream be untouched?

I found that in my iphone 5 recently upgrade to iOS 8.1, I found that the photo in camera roll deleted, the same photo in photo stream will delete along. How to only delete photo in either camera roll or photo stream without delete once for both camera roll or photo stream ?

Are there any apps that will permanently save photos to albums when they are deleted from camera roll?

Seems like many people want to manage their photos my separating them into albums, rather than one massive camera roll. In Android once you move the photo form the roll to an album it is gone from the roll thus eliminating a massive roll. So seems like someone out there must have devised a method of doing this on the iPhone using an app since Apple seems to be resisting this logical approach.

No.
There are not two copies. There is one and it is in the Camera Roll. The albums you create only point to the pics in the camera roll. It is simply an organization tool.
The camera roll is temporary storage for pics taken with iPhone. You should be importing them to your computer regularly. Once there, you can organize them however you like and sync them to your iPhone.

How to remove photos from camera roll but remain in album?

I want to delete photos that I have in camera roll but those same pics to remain in the album I create before. Any suggestions?

You can't. When you 'copy' them into new albums you are effectively just creating pointers to the original photos, so if you delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to it.
You could copy the photos to your computer, organise them on there, and then sync them back.
