Photos and creating space on iPhone

I have an iPhone 6s which is up to date with software IOS 10.0.2.

I will soon be setting off on a very special long haul flight to celebrate my big 70th birthday travelling from the north to the south of India.

I wish to keep a detailed photographic record of this exciting adventure on my iPhone.

How do I clear the pics which are already on the phone so that I have maximum storage without losing them. ideally I would like to set off with an empty phone.

Thank you

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015), iOS 9.2

Connect to your computer and transfer all photo's to there - Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support Just be sure to then also backup the computer itself so you have a backup of your photo's.

Alternatively, offload them to a cloud based archive such as Dropbox (fees may apply if you exceed the limits of the free account).

You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Once on your computer, you can erase them from the device.

I agree and it's easy if you enable My Photo Stream on both devices. If you have already shared them via MPS, you can safely delete all the photos on Camera Roll on your phone.
