Storage issues

I have an IPhone 8 Plus that keeps showing the storage is full, mostly taken up by photos. Yesterday I bought more iCloud storage but it won’t let me load my photos onto it. I have also gone from having over 7000 photos to now having 4681 after deleting lots yet it’s still telling me my storage is full.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

If your iPhone has optimised storage enabled then it may have lower space. Know about it--> With Optimize Storage, smaller, space-saving photos and videos are kept on your device while all of your original, full-resolution versions are stored in iCloud. And as long as you have enough space in iCloud, you can store as many photos and videos as you want.



Store your photos and videos in iCloud

Your photos and videos are stored on your device in their original, high-resolution version. This means that they use a lot of space on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. With iCloud Photos, you can make more space available on your device and have your entire collection, everywhere you go.

Get started with iCloud Photos:

  1. Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos.
  2. Turn on iCloud Photos.
  3. Select Optimize iPhone Storage to save space on your device.
