I bought icloud storage space for my iPhone, but it still shows that the memory is full. If you encounter this situation, you can go to iPhone “Settings” - “General” - “iPhone Storage Space” to check.

If you still have enough space and the issue still occurs, iCloud storage may be full. When you log in to your Apple ID on your iPhone, iCloud will automatically enable the photo synchronization function to store your photos or videos in iCloud, but the free iCloud space is only 5GB, you can go to “Settings” - “Apple ID” - Check the status of iCloud space storage in “iCloud”.

Here’s what to do if iCloud space is full: #

Paid to upgrade iCloud storage space: Go to “Settings” - “Apple ID” - “iCloud” - “Manage Storage Space” or “iCloud Storage Space”, tap “Buy More Storage Space” or “Change Storage Space Plan” , choose a plan, tap Buy, then follow the onscreen instructions. It should be noted that the iCloud storage plan is charged monthly.
Turn off the iCloud photo synchronization function and use a third-party tool to export the backup: If you do not want to pay for iCloud storage space, you can go to the iCloud official website to download the photos you have taken and uploaded to the computer for storage, and then in the iPhone “Settings”- In “Apple ID” - “iCloud”, turn off the “Photos” option. It should be noted that when you turn it off, iCloud will no longer automatically upload the photos or videos you take. In order to avoid loss of important photos, you can use a third-party tool to export the photos to the computer for backup after shooting.

iCloud is full, it could be due to the following reasons: #

Insufficient storage space: iCloud storage space is limited, if you have a lot of photos, videos, files and apps on your device, they may take up iCloud storage space. You could try cleaning up unwanted files or apps, or backing up some of your data to another cloud storage service.
Logs and databases: iCloud also stores your operating system logs, app data, and other data. If the amount of these data is large, it may take up iCloud storage space. You can try to clean up unnecessary logs and databases to free up iCloud storage space.
Photos and Videos: If you have a lot of photos and videos on your device, they may be taking up iCloud storage space. You can try backing up some photos and videos to other cloud storage services to free up iCloud storage space.

Account Sync: If you have multiple iCloud accounts on your device, they may take up iCloud storage space. You can try to close unnecessary accounts, or back up some data to other cloud storage services to free up iCloud storage space.
