Syncing Paused, Not enough iPhone storage

I have IPhone 14 ProMax & have PLENTY of space in iCloud but my photos aren’t syncing to the cloud because it says my iPhone storage is full.

That’s why I bought more iCloud storage!

Help!!

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

Have you enabled "Optimize iPhone Storage" on your iPhone? If not, copying photos to iCloud won't reduce the on-phone storage needs at all. If you do have optimization enabled, you may have already reached the maximum optimization ratio.


It is also possible that data/apps other than photos and videos are filling your phone storage and not leaving enough working storage for the Photos app.
