Hi Tim, Thanks for this. I did see some of those earlier posts but still don't understand what you mean by the following: >>>> If she deletes them from the PhotoStream, then they will be removed from >>>> the PhotoStream Library on your Mac too.
How do you delete something from your photo stream on an iPhone. I thought you could only delete them from your camera roll, but does this still leave them in the cloud somewhere? Still slightly confused but hopefully this helps somebody else too.
