iCloud

[George Hincapie]

I am posting on behalf of Mrs Hincapie who owns an iPhone 5S. She wishes to set up the iCloud backup so whenever she takes a photo it is uploaded to iCloud and the local copy deleted. Also, what is the easiest way for her to browse what she has backed up to iCloud?

Is this possible and if so, how?

I don't use Apple so I am hoping you guys can help her out.

TIA.

The iOS 9 Photos app will let you set things up so that only a small, phone optimised photo is kept on the phone while the original goes to the cloud. I don't think it's possible to have no local copy.

As above, its not possible. The local copy is compressed by about 75% in terms of file size however.
