iCloud Photos

Hey there,


I was wondering how to move all my photos onto icloud.

I brought the 200gb storage, hoping to empty my phone from photos since it takes up a lot of space. But only 15gbs of my photos upload…

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Uploading 200 GB of photos may take a week. Keep the iPhone connected to a power source and let it run.

Check occasionally the status bar below all photos for the progress of the upload, to see, if there are any problems reported.


Have you already the "Optimize iPhone Storage" option for the iCloud Photos enabled in the iPhone Settings?
