IPhone storage

Hello,


I currently have 30,000 pictures on my phone. Is it possible to store these on my icloud for my computer and erase my pictures on my phone?


iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

iCloud is a syncing service. If you store them there, anything you delete on your iPhone will sync to include and will also be deleted from there.


You can transfer the photos directly to a computer over USB by following the steps here however ➡️ Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC - Apple Support


Once that is done, you can delete them from the iPhone and they will remain on the computer.
