iCloud backups and iPhone backups I went to look at my iCloud and have noticed a couple of things with my photos. In Settings > iCloud, my Photos app is set to On (I assume this means it’s backing up to iCloud). If I then go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Backup > iPhone, this says I have 30.98 GB to backup. When I click this iPhone backup, it shows that 29.91 GB are in “Photo Library”. My phone wont back up as there is no space. If I turn off my library, will I lose all my photos when I purchase a new phone? Do I need to have this turned on in order to access my photos if I got a new iphone? What is the difference between this “Photo Library” and the previously mentioned “Photos” app from the previous pages? Can I turn one off to make the backup size smaller?

Check the status of your iCloud sync:

Open Photos

Tap library

Scroll to the bottom

See the item count and beneath that, the current cloud status

Leave the device plugged in, connected to a network, and locked.
