Storage is full on my phone. I have iCloud space but don't know how to move pics to iCloud and free up storage on my phone. I've enabled iCloud use on my phone to automatically upload pics. Nothing is happening. How do I get the pictures to transfer?

Thanks

Use Google Photos. You can get hd resolution and unlimited storage. Then once everything is uploaded you can delete the photos from your phone. Going forward everything will be uploaded to your Google Photos account. I have an iPhone and I've found it to be better than iCloud.

They are probably on your phone and in the Cloud baaww!!! Check and see if they are on your photo stream.

Upload them onto your computer....or just delete some of your selfies and dick pics.

I know it's old tech to put things onto a computer manually, but if he can't get the cloud to cooperate, or if he doesn't want to pay for additional storage- it's an easy option.

Settings>Photos>iCloud Photo Library [ON]

Settings>Photos>Optimize iPhone Storage

You have to be connected to wifi for the pics to upload. Best bet is to plug it in while connected to wifi and let it do its thing.

Here is my photos setting screen



Where mine says "Last Updated at 2:00 AM" what does yours say?
