Go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn on Photos, then wait for it to sync. Note that you cannot delete the photos from your iPhone, because they will also be deleted from iCloud. However, you can turn on Optimize Storage, which will convert the photos on your phone to lower resolution so they will take up less space:

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