This wikiHow teaches you how to prevent photos from your Camera Roll from uploading to iCloud automatically.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open your iPhone's Settings. Do so by tapping the grey gear icon on one of your Home screens (it might also be in a folder named "Utilities").
  2. 2
    Scroll to the fourth group of options and select iCloud.
  3. 3
    Select Photos.
  4. 4
    Slide the My Photo Stream switch left to the "Off" position. It should turn grey, signifying that your new photos won't be uploaded to iCloud and then shared across your devices.

Warnings

  • If you don't back up your photos to iCloud, consider backing them up to iTunes--if your phone crashes or is otherwise damaged, you'll want to be able to preserve your photos.
