Photos not uploading to iCloud after I upgraded iCloud storage?

I recently upgraded my iCloud storage and expected my photos on my iPhone to upload to the iCloud so that my phone can have some extra storage but it isn't uploading, I don't know if this isn't what I thought it would do or I am doing something wrong.

Hi STAN_DA_MAN,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Seems you may need to turn on, set up, and customise, just what you want iCloud to do.


Apple Support have articles online (links below) to guide you.


What is iCloud?

Find out what you can do:

Your apps and iTunes Store purchases don’t count toward your iCloud storage space,

so you need it just for things like photos, videos, files and device backups
