Why is my iPhone storage full when I have iCloud?

Your iPhone storage can become full even if you have iCloud because iCloud storage is separate from the storage capacity of your device. iCloud stores all of your data, such as photos, contacts, app data, documents, and more, but it does not add additional capacity to the amount of space available on your phone.

Depending on the settings you have for your iCloud account, you may be syncing your photos and other data from your iPhone onto iCloud and even though your data is stored on iCloud, it’s still taking up space on your device, resulting in your iPhone storage becoming full.

To free up space on your phone, you can delete unused/unneeded apps, delete large files, clear your cache, enable automatic offloading, or upgrade your iCloud storage plan.

If you’re not sure what a file is, you can use Google to search for more information.

Additionally, you can delete any other documents and media that are no longer needed, including photos, music, videos, documents, etc. It’s important to note that if you delete a file that a current or future application may need, the application may not work properly.

It’s also important to note that deleting files from the Library folder can free up some space, but it can’t free up as much space as emptying your trash or uninstalling applications, so you may want to consider those options first.

Finally, if you’re really concerned about which files are safe to delete from your Library, you can use a professional cleaning application such as CleanMyMac or MacKeeper to safely remove unnecessary files, as they will only delete items that are considered safe and have been verified by the software.
