I want to download a movie to watch on the plane. My iPad says I don’t have enough storage. I have tried to get rid of extra pics, videos etc. and I pay for extra cloud storage. How can I get more storage?
iPhone 7, iOS 15

Using Optimized Storage for photos and videos will free up storage space on your device by storing them in the cloud, but to view a picture or watch a movie, it needs to be downloaded to your device first. This will all happen automatically as long as there is space on your device for the file to be downloaded. You cannot download files directly to iCloud and to be able to watch a movie on a plane, the movie will need to be on your device using device storage, assuming you are not paying for internet access on the plane.
