Can not seem to free up storage space on Iphone 6
When I go to settings - iCloud, I can see that I have only 844mb free. If I click further it shows total 5gb, iphone is 2.9gb (2.4gb pics) and ipad 1.2gb and mail 25.5mb. I have deleted my Iphone photos from 700 to 137 a couple days ago. I then went into albums and deleted from "recently deleted". I hoped this would free up some space in a day or two but nothing changed. I still h ave only 137 photos on my iphone but many of the pics I took and deleted on my iphone show up on my ipad. I would like to keep the photos separate on each device. Should I change settings - icloud - photos from on to off? What will it take for my iphone storage to finally free up (after I deleted so many photos)?
iPhone 6, iOS 8.0.2
