Default Using iCloud backup for iPhone

I have icloud turned on for automatic back up of my iphone and have several questions.
If I turn off icloud do I lose the last back up?
While it is on, if I delete a photo will icloud also delete the photo from back up?
If for example I have a remote hard drive with all my photos backed up onto....can I delete the photos currently stored on icloud?

BTK.... Sorry, I don't know all the specifics of using iCloud. I recommend you download iTunes for your PC or Mac and sync/backup your iPhone to that. This way, you always have your backups on your PC and if you get a new iPhone or you have to have yours replaced, you recover the new iPhone from your backup and everything will be as before.

iTunes is a free download from Apple.com

If you are talking about an iCloud backup that contains your Whatsapp app data and now you want to restore to that backup to recover it the steps are below. However, be aware that restoring from an earlier backup will revert all data and settings on your phone to those contained in the backup. If you have more recent data you will need to back that up first to avoid losing it. Be sure to sync your contacts and calendar with iCloud (Settings>iCloud>Contacts and Calendars>On) and import all your photos and videos to your computer before proceeding to avoid losing them. Also, sync your phone with iTunes to transfer any recent purchases to your iTunes library and while there perform a manual backup in iTunes by right-clicking on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and selecting Backup.
