Hi everyone,

Weird issue I've been having where I disabled iCloud photos but photos I put on my Mac Photos or delete are still being pushed through the cloud to my iPhone. Wondering if anyone has seen this or has a solution.



Background:
1. I had iCloud photos turned on my phone and Mac. Originals on Mac. Optimized on iPhone.
2. Once library got too big it became frustrating to keep downloading photos on iPhone so I turned off iCloud photos on iPhone
3. I turned on Photostream on both to try to at least back up some photos automatically
4. That got annoying as photos would duplicate/triplicate sometime (I was also synching some photos from Mac to iPhone)
5. I turned off Photostream for both
6. Now I notice changes I make on Mac Photos get duplicated on the iPhone. Delete a photo. Gets deleted (without synching with iTunes)
7. I deleted all my camera roll photos on iPhone after backing up to see what is going on
8. Photos did NOT delete on the Mac but changes I make on the Mac happen on the iPhone
9. I took 3 photos and imported to Mac asking to "Delete after Import" but the photos were still there (I believe they were deleted but then the cloud sent them back)
10. I deleted 1 of the photos on the Mac and it then disappeared on the iPhone's Camera Roll
11. I just placed another photo from my desktop on the Mac and it popped up via cloud on the iPhone in Camera Roll

Anyone know what is going on or how to fix it??
