Is iCloud actual storage space or not ?
that's the main reason I got it
that's the main reason I paid to add more space
if that's not its main function
if that's not what it can do
--And my phone keeps saying there's no room left, so apparently photos are not being automatically stored in iCloud
please tell me so I can get something that actually does that Thanks

iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.
