My phone is low on storage. I have 256GB of storage which’s is almost full. I want to save my phone storage by moving my photos to iCloud, I have already purchased 200GB space. I enabled photos sync with iCloud but I don’t see any difference on phone storage although my iCloud space is being occupied slowly, can anyone guide me how to free up my phone space using iCloud without losing my photos.
