Hi all :D
I have a 6S Plus on iOS 12 beta 6.
At the moment, iCloud backup is turned on, however iCloud photos is turned off.
I now want to use the iCloud photos option, but when I turn it on I get the following message appear.
"Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when iCloud photos is turned on. 4141 photos will be removed. Remove photos or cancel"
The issues I have is, I don't want to lose over 4k photos so how the hell do I know what to do? lol
My phone used to be backed up via iTunes, it is no longer like this as there is not enough room on that PC in order to save the backup files, so I moved to iCloud backup.
Another reason I am asking is that I will be buying the new iPhone this year so really need to make sure everything can be copied across to that new device too.
Any ideas folks please?
Thanks
Richard.
 
Please download iRefone and then backup your photos from iCloud.
