iPhone photo and storage guides
Plain steps for a full iPhone, duplicate photos and iCloud storage, starting with Apple's own tools.
iPhone storage full? Start with Apple's free tools in Settings, then clear chat attachments, near-identical photos and Recently Deleted.
Merge exact copies for free in Photos › Utilities › Duplicates. Then handle similar photos and bursts, which Apple's Duplicates album never shows.
When iCloud storage is full, backups and photo uploads stop. See what fills your plan, what's safe to delete, and when a bigger plan is the better fix.
