ICloud Photos

My I phone 14 storage is full. If I optimise my photos, my full resolution photos are stored in I cloud, that's clear. But if, while going through my smaller size pictures on my phone, I wish to send an image in full resolution, say on WhatsApp or Mail, how do I do that?

I hope I don't have to retrieve it in ICloud? From ICloud I can only send a link to the image, not the image itself.

What am I missing? :)

Hey maurizio284,


If iCloud Photos is enabled, this would be expected behavior from iOS. YOu'll share a link to iCloud that can be accessed for up to 30 days, during which recipients can download the full-res images to their devices.


See more info here: Share photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support


"Share photos and videos

  • Share a single photo or video: Open the photo or video, tap the Share button, then choose a share option.
  • Share multiple photos or videos: When viewing a screen with multiple thumbnails, tap Select, then tap the thumbnail of the photos and videos you want to share. Tap the Share button, then choose a share option.
  • Share photos or videos from a day or month: Tap Library, tap Days or Months, tap the More Options button, then tap Share Photos and choose a share option.

The sharing screen with a selected photo at the top, indicated by a white checkmark in a blue circle. The row beneath the photo shows suggested contacts to share with. Below that are other sharing options, including, from left to right, AirDrop, Messages, Mail, and Notes. At the bottom of the screen is the Copy Photos button.


When iCloud Photos is turned on, you can share multiple full-quality photos with an iCloud link. iCloud links remain available for 30 days, can be viewed by anyone, and can be shared using any app, such as Messages or Mail.


You can also use Shared Albums to share photos and videos with just the people you choose. See Use iCloud Shared Albums with iPhone.


Note: The size limit of attachments is determined by your service provider. For devices or services that don’t support Live Photos, a Live Photo is shared as a still photo."


Cheers!
