I pay for 2TB of icloud storage but it says only 76 GB has been used. My iPhone however, is saying that a do not have any more space in my iphone and I need to delete things to create more room. My iPhone originally only has 32 gb of storage. How do I free up space and use my icloud storage that I pay for? Do I just need to complete a backup to make more space? Im not sure what to do. Please help.
iPhone 7, iOS 15
You need to delete items from your phone to free up space; you cannot add space to your phone, it is fixed at 32GB (which is very small as far as space is concerned). Remember, if you delete photos, etc. synced in iCloud, those items will be deleted permanently.

Kind of. You can store items there but everything is a twin of something on your device. So, if you take a photo and it syncs to iCloud, the two are linked. If you delete the photo on iCloud.com it deletes from your device too (and vice versa)
iCloud is primarily a synchronization that keeps all of your Apple devices in sync (photos, messages, files, etc.) You can also store device backups on iCloud.
What is the purpose of iCloud storage ? I thought it created more space on my phone. What are the benefits of having iCloud Storage?
Just to clarify, so it’s basically like a virtual hard drive ? That makes more sense.
