Can't synchronize: Iphone has enough, I cloud says it's full,

My phone has enough space, but Icloud says it is full. I have to buy space otherwise I can't make a back up. There is no way to synchronize. How can I skip this?

Hi hank315,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you need to back up your iPhone, but you don't have enough space in iCloud to do so.


If you don't want to purchase additional iCloud storage to back up your iPhone, you can create an iPhone backup via your computer as outlined here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

"Choose a backup method

Before you get started, learn the difference between iCloud backups and backups you make using your computer. Then choose the method that's best for you.

Back up with iCloud

Back up with your Mac

Back up with your PC"


If you want to disable iCloud backup, you can do so if you go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup and disable Back Up this iPhone.


If you don’t own a computer or would rather use iCloud to backup your device, you can use the steps in this article to reclaim some of your iCloud storage: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support


We hope this helps you.


Cheers!
