Description

It would be nice if the Remove from camera roll option is separate for photos and videos. For example, move it from Advanced Settings to the Auto Upload settings, where they are already separated. I don't know how doable that is with iOS.

Reasoning:
Photos don't take up a lot of space, but videos do. So I generally only want the videos deleted from my phone. (I also use Google Photos but don't want videos uploaded there, so if Nextcloud deleted them it would save some time.)

Research direction

Start by reading the iOS Auto Upload and Advanced Settings screens to understand how the current camera-roll removal option is configured. Determine how separate photo and video controls should be presented and applied, then verify that each control removes only its selected media type while preserving existing upload behavior.
