Transfer data to the new iPhone and the photos downloaded itself and full my storage. I have all my pics in iCloud

Hi I bought the new iPhone, I transferred phone to phone, all my pics are in the iCloud. When the sync is ready it says me that my storage is full. There is not an option to keep the photos in the cloud, the process is downloading them on my new device. What’s the point to have iCloud? It’s not working well!

help!!!

iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264

Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.
