Basically I bought the extra 200GB in iCloud storage, but my phone is still telling me I can’t take pictures or videos because my storage is too full. It shows in iCloud settings that I have the storage. But I’m general settings everything’s full. How do I get my phone to free up the extra space so I can use it!?
iPhone 11, iOS 13
They are only synced to iCloud and not actually stored there. If you delete them on the phone they will be deleted in iCloud.
I do not use iCloud Photos and I am not a fan of the way that Apple sells the whole iCloud Photos thing. People are easily confused about what iCloud Photos really does with regard to storage.
See the section about Edits on all your devices in here.
Right but does that mean all of my pictures and videos are saved in iCloud though? Or when I delete from my phone will I lose everything?
iCloud storage does not allow you to upload content to the cloud and delete it from your device. iCloud is really a syncing service and not off device storage.
You will need to delete content from your device itself.
iCloud storage not reflecting in general storage
