Be Careful With iCloud Photos

ICloud Photos allows you to store your photos on the cloud to give you more storage space on your device. In this way, high resolutions versions of the images are stored on the Cloud and if you want to, smaller versions of the photos remain on your phone.

But do not forget that when you delete a photo on one device you own when you are signed in with your Apple ID, the photos will be deleted on all your other devices where the same Apple ID is used.

Checking Amount of Storage Left

Periodically or if you have any memory or transfer issues you should check how much storage you have available on your phone. When the storage is full you will get a message saying so. To check how much space you have simply go Settings/General/Storage.

To check how much device storage you have left:

1. Go to Settings

2. Tap on General

3. Tap on Storage

To check how much iCloud storage space you have left:

1. Tap on Settings

2. Tap (your name)

3. Tap on iCloud

If you find that deleting photos did not free up all the space you expected, it is because the first time you click on Delete, your photos are not actually permanently deleted, but rather moved to Recently Deleted, where they are kept for several weeks before disappearing completely.

To make a permanent deletion and save some real space, you need to:

1. Go to Album view

2. Scroll download

3. Tap on Recently Deleted

4. Select the photos again

5. Tap Delete again
