Send data from iphone storage to icloud storage

How do i send all my data from iphone storage to my icloud storage? I am on holiday and since i got my local sim i cant make photos etc. Because my iphone storage is full. I have done a lot of things like cleaning my phone (works only temporary) or optimize my data storage or synchronize phone but i doesnt seem to work. Can anyone help me out?

iPhone 15, iOS 26

Presumably you’re optimising the space taken up by photos? Go to Settings - Photos. Make show iCloud Photos is switched on and Optimise Phone Storage is selected. Also go to Settings - General - IPhone Storage to see what is taking up space. Then consider what you can get rid off. For example - do you have a lot of music or podcasts downloaded that don’t need to be? Any apps you don’t use or don’t use often? Consider deleting or offloading them. You be surprise how much unneeded crud can accumulate.
