We take so many videos and stills on our iPhone that we run the risk of filling it up, leading to the dreaded 'Storage Full' notice popping up just as we are about to take an amazing photograph. By the time we've scrolled through our Photos library, and manually deleted a few shots to free up storage space, our photo opportunity will have passed. To avoid such storage issues, your Photos app's Optimise iPhone Storage setting offers the option to sync your photographs with iCloud Photos and store the full versions there. You can then store lower-quality (and lighter) versions on your iPhone, only downloading full-size shots to your device when you need to edit and share them.
