Photos and videos are often the biggest storage hogs. You can compress local copies while keeping originals safe in the cloud.
Steps to Enable Optimization
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Photos.
- Ensure iCloud Photos is toggled ON.
- Select Optimize iPhone Storage (a checkmark should appear next to it).
How It Works
- Full Resolution: High-quality originals are uploaded to iCloud.
- Device Version: Smaller, space-saving versions are kept on your iPhone.
- On Demand: When you open a photo, the full-quality version downloads instantly if you have internet access.
