While a full iPhone storage won't automatically reduce the resolution of your photos stored directly on the device, it can impact how they appear. Apple offers a feature called "Optimize iPhone Storage" which helps manage space by keeping full-resolution versions of your photos in iCloud and storing smaller, space-saving versions on your phone. This ensures you can still view your photos, but they might not be in their original quality until you download them from iCloud.


However, this functionality only applies to photos stored on your iPhone and iCloud. If you're using a third-party cloud storage service, there's no guarantee they'll automatically optimize storage by reducing photo resolution.These services might have different policies for handling photo storage, and some may compress or reduce the quality of your photos to save space.


Here's what I recommend:

  • Consider using iCloud Photos: If you're concerned about storage space on your iPhone and want to maintain the original quality of your photos, iCloud Photos is a good option. It seamlessly integrates with your iPhone and keeps full-resolution versions in the cloud, while storing space-saving versions on your device.
  • Check your third-party cloud storage settings: If you prefer using a third-party cloud storage service, investigate their settings related to photo storage. See if they offer options for keeping original quality or if they automatically compress photos.


By understanding how different storage solutions handle photos, you can ensure your precious memories are preserved in their full glory.
