How to transfer App from phone to iCloud storage

Hi karawei,

We understand that you'd like to transfer an app from iPhone storage to iCloud storage. We also see you're coming to the Communities from the following article: What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage? That article provides a great explanation on the difference between your device storage, and iCloud storage. iCloud is not a separate storage space, which means you can't transfer data or applications to it directly in order to help free up space on your device. Your applications will always take up space from your device storage. If you need help freeing up space on your device storage, use the suggestions in this article: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

iCloud is used to sync data across multiple devices. It also can save your application data during backups. If you use iCloud backup, app data is typically stored in your iCloud backup. For details about what's included in an iCloud backup, check out this article: What does iCloud back up?

You would need to ensure you turn on your applications within iCloud settings in order to make sure the data is included in the backup. You may enable it by going to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups > This iPhone. Enable the app in the section titled "Choose data to back up."

Take care.
