How to Turn Off iCloud Photo Sharing on iPhone and iPad
A heavy cloud drive user, happy to solve problems about cloud drive using and management.
No worries, I've got you covered. Turning off iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone 14 is a piece of cake. Here's how to stop iCloud Photo Sharing:
- Open Settings: Tap on the "Settings" app on your iPhone's home screen.
- Your Name: Scroll down and tap on your Apple ID name at the top.
- iCloud: Now, select "iCloud" from the list.
- Photos: Scroll down to find "Photos" and tap on it.
- iCloud Photos: Here, toggle off the switch next to iCloud Photos. This will disable iCloud Photo Sharing and remove shared albums.
Keep in mind:
- Your shared albums will be removed from other people's devices if you're the owner.
- If you're part of shared albums created by others, leaving those albums will stop the sharing, but you won't lose the photos.
That's it! Your pics won't be shared through iCloud anymore. If you change your mind later, you can always toggle it back on. Besides, if you want to share your iCloud photos with users from other cloud storage services, here’s a wonderful cloud file manager, MultCloud, that can help you securely share cloud files with others.
