Storage full, iCloud vs Google photos
I feel so defeated. I feel like an elderly person trying to navigate technology but I’m 35 😭
I have an iPhone 16 Pro
My storage is full and I don’t know what to do
I primarily use my phone to take photos/videos of my children and for my small business. I have 29k photos and 11k videos
I have iCloud to backup everything as well as Google Photos (idk why I have both, and I feel like this is part of the problem).
Every time I delete some of my photos or videos, they magically return. I think because iCloud is synced, no matter what I do to try and remove some of the clutter they find their way back.
What’s weird is that sometimes I don’t get the “storage full” memo and I can take pictures, but randomly other times, and without deleting any, I’m able to take more. It’s so inconsistent and confusing.
I want to upgrade my phone to one with more storage, but I feel like i need to take hold of this situation before i do that. Any advice?
