How do I access extra iCloud storage?

zinacef

thanks for your quick answer

yes, I understand that I’m paying for iCloud storage, not extra storage on my iPhone.

i have 64 GB storage on my iPhone. And I’m only using about 34GB at the moment

I was advised to pay for extra iCloud storage thru Apple to possibly help with battery usage/drainage

Suggestion was to move my photos and/or any other “heavy” data I don’t use daily to the extra iCloud storage.

but now I don’t know if I even need that extra storage in iCloud, as there was no noticeable change in my battery usage.

AND ... I still don’t know how to view what is in that “extra storage”, or, maybe there is nothing as I don’t recall actually sending and photos, etc., to it

do you understand my question ?

thank you in advance for your help

Thanks for that info

i shouldn’t listen to every Apple nut I know

but now I want to delete that iCloud extra storage and save the 99 cents/month.

thats what I’ve been searching for - not finding any help to delete that and quit letting Apple charge me

Thank you for your advice

turns out I was storing photos & backups in that extra storage

a lot !

Photos: 30GB

Backups: 17GB

If I were to end my extra storage deal with Apple, I will lose all of that.

i have an external hard rife - how do I move the photos & backups to that external HD ?

used to backup my phone to my PC, then had trouble with the iTines app and quit doing the backups.

is that where I go (iTunes) to send my photos and anything else I wish to transfer to the ext.HD ?

or did they change that to a diff Apple app ?
