One-way sync question

Hi all,

Noobie question, I have read the docs, and here https://immich.app/docs/features/mobile-app/#album-synchronization-highlights says that "One-Way Sync: Synchronization is one-way, from the device to the server.".

However, that is the case, as I understand it anyways, when you have full albums sync enabled. How does it work though, when I have certain albums selected, but I manually select which pictures from those albums to upload?

Basically, I want to make sure that whatever I backup from my phone to Immich's server does NOT get deleted after I delete those pics on my phone.

I guess a follow up question is, does it make a difference whether I delete backed up photos using the stock Android gallery or Immich's app (a difference in the sense of deleting a picture on the phone having the consequence of deleting that very same backed up picture on the server)?

Thanks!
