problems with Icloud

hello i have a problem. Today I bought 200 GB from Icloud because I was running out of space on my phone. But I don't know how to transfer all photos from my phone to Icloud. And at the same time, Icloud says to me that it is not turned on and all photos will be deleted. Although I have it turned on and I don't know what to do

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hi Lora102rus,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with iCloud and your photos.


You would not be able to transfer all of your photos to iCloud and not have them on your iPhone. ICloud Photos instead syncs your photos to iCloud and all devices you are signed into. Please see: Set up and use iCloud Photos.


If you delete your photos from your device, they will be deleted everywhere when you use iCloud Photos.


If you are running out of storage on your iPhone, select Optimize iPhone Storage in Settings > Photos.


If you aren't using iCloud Photos, then they would be included in your backup: What does iCloud back up?


Have a fantastic day!
