When you turn off iCloud photos, you might come across the following:

• iCloud photos will be removed from your iPhone: The photos and videos that were previously stored in iCloud will be removed from that device, but will remain in your iCloud account.
• No photos from your iPhone will be synced to iCloud: Any new photos or videos taken on the device will no longer be automatically uploaded to iCloud and synced with other devices.
• The downloaded photos will take up iPhone storage: If you have optimized storage enabled, turning off iCloud Photos may result in the full-resolution versions of photos and videos being downloaded to the device, taking up more storage space.
• You will have no access to iCloud Photos: You will no longer be able to access your photos and videos stored in iCloud on your iPhone unless you re-enable iCloud Photos or access them through the iCloud website.
• You are not allowed to edit content from iCloud on your iPhone: Any edits or changes made to photos on one device will not be automatically synced with other devices, as iCloud Photos syncing will be turned off.
