Storage iPad vs iCloud - how to offload iPad storage to iCloud

Hi there


I have 32GB iPad and it is constantly full while I have plenty of space on my iCloud. I have synched the photos to iCloud and optimised following the standard settings available. Even after doing that, my iPad still shows that I have worth more than 10GB in local storage for photos.


How can I eliminate this local storage of photos completely out of the iPad and keep it all on iCloud??


Is that possible?


Thanks!

If you have optimized your photos, that is the best you can do.


Apple does not offer an iCloud only photo option.
