iCloud by default only has 5GB of storage space for your backup.


When you get a popup message on your iPhone or iPad that the storage is full.


Look closely storage of iPhone and iCloud.


You cannot increase storage of iPhone. However you can optimise iPhone Storage by using iCloud Storage. Save space on your device

Settings > [your name] > iCloud Tap Photos > Choose Optimize [device] Storage Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


iCloud storage is primarily for keeping a copy of your iPhone data safely on cloud. If you delete data on iPhone, data on iCloud is gone.


iPhone Storage (Setting > General > iPhone Storage)

  1. Total storage remains same through out life span of the iPhone
