    Photo, Phone, and backups.

    I want to make sure this is correct. Once I back up my iphone to photos, I can delete the pic/vid from the phone and not have it deleted from photos. Do I understand that correctly? What happens to the photo on iCloud if deleted from phone? Thanks for helping me with these really basic questions.
