Need more iCloud storage? You can easily manage your storage to make space or upgrade to iCloud+.
When you set up iCloud, you get 5 GB of storage automatically. You can use that space for your iCloud backups, to keep your photos and videos stored in iCloud Photos, to keep your documents up to date in iCloud Drive and more. You can always check how much iCloud storage you're using in Settings on your device or on iCloud.com. If you're running low, you can manage your storage to make more space or upgrade to iCloud+ at any time.
If you run out of iCloud storage, your device won’t be backed up to iCloud, new photos and videos won’t be uploaded to iCloud Photos, and iCloud Drive and other iCloud apps won’t stay up to date across your devices. And you also won't be able to send or receive emails with your iCloud email address.
You can free up storage in iCloud by deleting content that you're not using:
•Check Recommended for You
•Reduce the size of your iCloud Backup
•Delete photos in iCloud Photos
•Delete folders or files in iCloud Drive
If you’re getting low on storage in iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or later, you can go to Recommended for You in your iCloud settings and check if there are photos, large files or backups you may not need any more and can delete.
