can I update my iCloud storage without my phone if it still has service? I lost my phone and am unable to sync all my photo data

if I delete the backed up stuff on my igloos will it automatically sync the photos that haven't been backed up without having to do it on the device?


iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hi there solmarisol,


If you are trying to manage your iCloud storage on a Windows PC, follow the most relevant section of this article: Manage your iCloud storage


However, deleting or making more storage available in iCloud will not allow photos on your iPhone to be automatically uploaded, especially if it is not connected to a Wi-Fi network. You would need access to the device in order to upload the photos that are not currently synced with iCloud.

Best regards.
