My iPhone device storage is maxed out. I have iCloud Photos turned on. I want to remove photos from my iPhone to free up storage, but I still want to have access to them. How do I do this?
iPhone 6s, iOS 14
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.
