Optimize Your iPhone’s Photos Storage
If you’re using iCloud Photo Library, one of the quickest and easy ways to get more storage on your iPhone is to let your iPhone optimize its own photo storage. This keeps only smaller pictures and videos on your iPhone to make the most of your storage.
- Open Settings.
- Go to your Apple ID.
- Tap on iCloud.
- Select Photos.
- Choose Optimize iPhone Storage.
Keep in mind that the photos that will stay on your iPhone will have a lower resolution that’s suitable for viewing on your device’s smaller screen and sharing to social media. The original, high-resolution photos will be kept in iCloud and downloaded only when they’re needed for editing or higher-quality sharing.
