Photos also include videos, and videos can be surprisingly big (especially if you're using 4K prores).

better to use storage cleaner apps that remove photo clones and unwanted screenshots. you can use icloud as well to back up photos and videos so you can delete them on your phone

Well just backup and delete your photos. Why are you surprised? That’s just how storage works. The more you store the less room you have to store.

I’m sorry to thread jack, but I’ve been in the apple ecosystem for years and never mastered the cloud. Where do I put the photos so I can delete them, right now I’m using google to back up all my pictures, thanks for the help!

if you are using it, dont use pro raw or pro res, a pro raw photo is around 30mb

There’s always ways to recover but I get most of my pics printed anyway and movies are burned to blue rays so the family can watch them. What’s the point of saving them if you not gonna use them.

iCloud optimize storage lets you keep small versions of your photos on your phone, but backs up all the uncompressed originals online. Frees up storage, but let’s you access your photos whenever. It costs like 5 bucks a month.

I put all my photos and vids in google drive. I don't use icloud. Then after that, i delete the photos and vids in my phone, and done! The problem will be is if you use shared albums with your friends. I think you can't delete photos in recent photos that you've posted in the shared album

Google drive's free. It may have a limit just like icloud, but it's better than icloud. Also you get to choose which one to back up. Unlike with icloud, you have no idea what they backed up coz you can't technically see them all other than the percentage of how much files, photos, apps and such.

So for photos and vids and important files, i put them in google drive. Delete them afterwards, and the rest i let icloud do the work.

I learned my lesson when my ipod touch then was stolen, i bought an iphone and realized many of my notes, screenshots of reviewers, along with photos of important events wasn't saved in icloud but a lot of junk photos(memes, pinterest...you get the idea) was backed up.

Maybe you could try to select all and click that DELETE button?

If you have enough iCloud storage and the setting turned on, you don’t have to put the photos anywhere. Your iPhone will upload everything on the Photos app to your iCloud account and keep a low-res proxy on your iPhone that takes way less space. You don’t delete anything. When you need to see a certain photo or video, just tap on it like you would usually do as if it was in your phone and it will be downloaded from your cloud. Everything’s automatic, you don’t even have to think about it ever again.

My entire photos and videos collection is almost 60Gb but it’s only taking 1Gb on my iPhone. If I ever need to take a look at an older photo, I just go to the photos app and tap on it and after like 1 second it’s already there like if it was always on my phone, it’s great!

Are you using iCloud Photo Library? If so, go to settings >photos > optimize iPhone storage ON. I have probably 100GB off photos but it only takes up 5GB on my phone.

What do you not see here is the Photos memory feature takes up a lot of space. And unfortunately there's no way for you to delete that, that's basically Apple's middle finger to you
