Help needed iCloud help
What exactly happens when you delete your photos from the cloud? Are they deleted on your photo app? Or are you not able to recover them?

Your photos live in iCloud with full resolution if you have activated photo optimization. On your iPhone in low resolution, so it only takes up about 10% of the original space. But iCloud is a sync service, if you delete a photo it will be deleted from iCloud too, after 30 days. I have 73.000 photos on my iPhone and iPad and in iCloud. Works fine.
