You can’t move your photos to iCloud in order to save space on your device. iCloud is a syncing service, not off device storage.


When you use iCloud photos, full resolution copies of your photos are stored in iCloud, but the photos also appear on your device. If you delete them on the device, you delete them everywhere.
