IPhone storage delete question
I have an iPhone 6s & an iMac.
I want to simply delete pics/video off the phone once I have transferred them to my Mac.

When I go to free up storage I get the message that any deletions will delete across all devices.
Is there a simple way of deleting off the phone but not the Mac
TIA

Tap iCloud. Tap Photos. Under Photos, you can slide a switch to turn off your iCloud Photo Library. To get rid of iCloud Photo Library on all of your devices, follow steps #1 to #3, but then go to iCloud Storage > Manage Storage > iCloud Photo Library, then choose Disable and Delete.

Nicked from internet , far too technical for me to know !

It depends how you are storing them on your iMac.

If you want a safe way to back up, then use Image Capture to access the photos on your phone. Transfer them to a new folder/file on your desktop - not to Photos. This separates the photos from the Apple system and gives you a permanent set of your photos.

I do not store photos in iCloud, so cannot advise on deletion from experience.
