iPhone Storage X iCloud Storage EXPLAINED! 

seems misleading. if the iPhone user transfers their pictures and videos to the iCloud for them to free up spaces on their phone, they would have to delete the pictures and videos after. deleting these will also result in the pictures and videos being erased from the iCloud which defeats the entire purpose.

Good vid, clear explanation👍 One thing to add, to retrieve the full resolution photo, you need internet and good data signal. Most of the time that will be fine and nothing to worry about though.

Very good and well explained. However, 1 more thing to clear upp at this point regarding to the internal physical storage of any apply device (iphone, ipad, macbooks etc.). if you delete a photo from one device it will be deleted from ALL your devices including the iCloud. Be aware of that. When you select the optimize storage option over your phone, it does drop the Physical Storage Space on your iPhone, as it keeps only a "Pretty Looking Thumbnail" of your photo/video (With Lower Resolution ofc), and obviously keeps an original resolution copy over the iCloud Storage. But if you delete that "Pretty Looking Thumbnail" from your iphone, You are going to lose it from your iCloud Storage as well. Another point to remember for those who can forget this point, once you delete something from your album (Photo/Video), it stays in your deleted folder for 30 days, so you may remove something lets say today, and can still see in in you iCloud Storage Drive, don`t be surprised, it just works this way :) I hope I helped clearing this major point up ;)

Thank you for this video and explanation. I have almost the same problem I cannot see whatsapp and dictafone messages in ICloud although I have free storage in ICloud I also do not see the documents in the drive In I cloud . Can you please help. Thanks

Your videos are so helpful and amazing thanks so much man!

Google Photos i think is the better. I'm using Iphone 13 Pro Max and i'm using Google Photos for 10 years. You can just back Up all your photos and videos to Google photos and you can delete all of those photos and videos from you iphone "photos" after back up. You can free your iphone storage instantly.

Caution!!! If you delete them from your phone with turning off iCloud sync they will be deleted in the cloud and any other devices that are linked to your account.

Explicação perfeita, tirou todas as minhas dúvidas. 🤩🤩

Great video! I finally understand! Thanks

Super helpful. Had the exact same problems on my iPad and iPhone

This is really helpful, thank you ❤

Thanks for the explanation about internal storage and iCloud. I'll be switching to the iPhone this year from Android since I still debating to get either 512GB or 1TB since I plan to use it to last me for at least 4+ years. My current phone is the Samsung Galaxy S10+ with 128GB with 512GB microSD card but I'm always running out of storage. Based on your explanation on iCloud, I don't need it since I rarely take pictures or record videos but I do play a lot of games and watch and download videos from streaming apps on my phone.

its not even my apps, its the updates and versions taking up so much storage

My photos are synced to icloud yet they take a minimal amount of storage of the local storage… also i kept it on optimise storage

How would this work for imessages? and vidoes and photos sent i imessage? that's the big issue i'm having with my memory

This video is enlightening. I noticed that after reinstalling telegram on my iPhone, the data in telegram was still intact. So does icloud save app data?

Hi! This was so helpfull, i was becoming crazy. Already made the setting changes at mi iphone, so the photos content can go to the cloud. QUESTION: It will actually take days? Cause i still dont see any change at the icloud content. Thanks, I appreciate your time

PLEASE help!!! Would you go with 256GB and Icloud on the iPhone 14 pro max or would you choose the 512GB iPhone? I like to take lots of photos. It's 260$ of different between the 256 and the 512 iPhone.

Thanks for the explanation!

This was very helpful, thx!

Thank you this was very explicit

How come under iPhone storage I have iCloud Drive taking up 14gb? I moved all photos to files as per your video, my on my iPhone in files is empty. But it shows iCloud Drive in my iPhone storage now. Yours didn’t show that.?? I watched and follows both your videos.

Did all of this, but still the photos did not get removed from my internal device storage unlike you have (at 5:05). Very frustrating. Can someone help?

Finally , Thank you!!!

So Is there a way I can delete all these photos from my I phone and put them On the cloud exclusively

Hey Daniel my iPhone storage is so full and my iPhone is not working properly and I can't go to my setting is there another way I can optimize my iPhone picture to my iCloud using Mac or computer?

Yo how do I transfer my iCloud Drive to iCloud storage instead of It being in the iPhone storage

Great video thank you!

OMG your intro is exactly what is happening to me

I have a new iPhone 13 pro max with 256 GB. I recently purchased additional icloud storage of 200 GB. I just got a message saying my memory was full. Phone wouldn’t work. That’s impossible. I have 219 GB free of storage and approximately 150 GB of iCloud storage. What is the problem?

What I don't understand is that I have 2TB of iCloud and sometimes my iPhone run out of storage?. I have all my videos on iCloud. Then after a while I have back my iPhone storage back?. If I download videos from my iCloud and don't hit SAVE video, my iPhone also is taking space?. thanks

what if I'm going to send tons of photos and videos via airdrop? and the storage location will be on Icloud? will it work? Or it will saved first on the internal storage then manually transfer it to Icloud? thanks!

I moved my photos and videos like your other video to the iCloud Drive. There is nothing on “my iPhone” in files. But when I look at my iPhone storage it says the iCloud Drive is taking up a lot of space now….?

I just called the iphone support and they suggested to do Backup again and maybe delete some photos/videos before you optimized your photos

very helpful video thanks a lot, but after the photos are in icloud drive and they have low resolution on my iphone, can I delete them from iphone? and still having them on icloud?

What happens if I don’t pay iCloud for a month or two due to changes of my credit card? Can i lose my info there? Or as i have enough space nothing happens while fixing my card? Thanks so much for taking the time

Hello Daniel , I subscribed my iCloud storage and I followed the tips you used in the video but I’m still having space issues, the files in my drive is not moving to to iCloud and my videos keeps saying unable to load video… what can I do plsss

This Video was super helpful! i recently brought the 200GB iCloud+ Storage Plan To Free Up Internal Space On My iPhone And I Didn't Know If It Would Still Take Up Space.

Thank you!

I cleared about 7 GB of space from merging identical photos saved to my iPhone storage.

Can you delete photos on iPhone like files after moving to iCloud?

I’ve enabled iCloud storage and optimized iPhone storage but still the notification that my iPhone storage is full still pops up

Amazing video

My iphone has 125 gb of storage and it shows I have 156 gbs of documents and data on my iphone. so what is wrong what did I do to have that happen on my iphone and it's the same on with my ipad.All my files o from my computer are in icloud on my iphone. How do I stop that and only have what's on my iphone on my iphone ?

I optimized my icloud photos a month ago and followed all these instructions but it still says storage is full eventhough I have free space on icloud. I don’t understand

I want to know if the GB in my iPhone can be transferred to my cloud? I recently purchased a 13 pro max with 256 GB not understanding the difference between the phone storage and cloud stage and I already have 50GB in my cloud. But my phone will not do its backup because it says i don’t have enough storage!! I freaked out!! I thought those back up would be done based on the phones storage not the cloud. I just don’t want to buy more storage !!!

Yay thanksss

I have data on my phone but when I connect to the wifi my phone is slower and I can’t really do anything to help my iPhone storage because I need internet connection but when I connect to the wifi it still say no internet connection idk what to do

Guys can you help me what about to the hidden photos which already hide it on iphones hidden album does it also upload on the iCloud automatically?

Okay Will it stay in my gallery? Or it will delete?

How are your backups only 6GB?

I have a question! I have the basic version of 5gb on I cloud and I have transferred some of my photos on I cloud. When I go to I phone storage it says 6gb on gallery and 6 go I cloud . So I can’t understand, did I saved I phone storage or not ?

Could You maybe do a video on RU-vid comments as sometimes it wont let You post comments and its in Red

Why does my phone freeze, when I try backing it up through iCloud

My iPhone storage is full all photos are in in iPhone storage how i move to iCloud ( so i have space in iPhone

My dad has the exact same phone as you😂😂

nice video

But backup stores all apps in the iCloud, right?

Brother do we have to pay every month for just one purchase

I tried this on my ipad, but it didnt reduce my storage. called apple to help out and they told me icloud wont free up storage as it is only for back up. is it because its an ipad?

I want to upgrade but I have full iCloud storage and not all my photos are saved into iCloud. Will all my data be in the new phone? Also my phone won’t let me buy iCloud it’s glitching

this dont make sence to me, if i have lots of space left on my phone but my iclowd is almost full, whats the point of sending more stuff to iclowd?

Tbh, I kind regret why I bought iPhone, I tried everything, but I can't save space, I keep deleting all Apps, yet nothing happens. Anyone has ideas?

If I get 1TB of iCloud can I download more and more apps?

still lost. I have optimize clicked but still no space

Take longer to get to the point 👍🏻

I have my storage set just like you explained with a ton of free iCloud storage but still - keep getting the not enough storage message :(

The iPhone storage still shows same as iCloud even after uploading all pictures! Please help

If you delete a picture from your phone storage will it be deleted from your iCloud storage?

I have recently swapped to another phone and the iCloud Drive is taking up space (11GB to be precise!) this did not use to happen before :(

So if I buy an iPad with 512 GB I cannot get more unless I buy more storage via iCloud okay because I’m trying to buy an iPad and if I get one with 512 instead of one or 2 TB it will be less expensive

Im confused. I already subscribed to icloud plan but still i have the same iphone storage. You did not explain very well.

They have a 6TB option now

Hey Daniel, do you answer emails?

My photos stopped uploading to iCloud even tho I have enough space on my iCloud storage I am been asked to upgrade.. plsss help

Great support bro

I did what u said nd iPhone storage still full lol

I really need a reply to my comments (the second one is more important ) if you have time. Thanks

ARACAJU????? brasil?????

What happens if i unsubscribe from icloud+ after storing all of my 100gb photos there?😗

It saying that my storage is full but I just bought some more like. WHAT

What is the biggest Iphone storage available?

Why my iCloud has a different amount of gb occupied than my iPhone storage?

not helpful..i have exactly all the same settings but my photos are on both

i wish messages would go to icloud

I did everything this guy said in the video, yet I still have a storage problem. I was only able to 1/5 of my pictures. The rest can be moved for no reason. I deleted almost all my apps, but it still not enough I regret buying iPhone

👍🏻

i bought a 128gb iphone 14 pro max and i regret it, a 7min 4k 60fps video is 5gb :')

Having to explain a complicated storage system is one of the many reasons why the iPhone sucks. Apple's brand is literally based on reputation and camera, that's it. Android is extremely straight forward and intuitive.

So, if i transfer my photos to icloud and delete them from my internal storage. How can i find them back?
