iPhone users—how do you store your photos?
Locally on your device, or do you use a cloud service like iCloud, Google Photos, Synology Photos, Immich, or Dropbox?

locally
What’s your go-to solution when you start running out of space?
Personally, mine will never touch iCloud. Only locally for all of my photos.
I also back them up on a massive external drive.
Locally. Eventually I am forced to go trough and remove the ballast. Then I can go on as usual business.
What’s your go to method when nearing storage capacity?
Delete photos even harder. Then apps. Then even apps that I use that got bloated.
Recently I had to delete Whatsapp which got to 16 gigs and start anew.
“Delete photos even harder” I felt that. And when that doesn’t work, delete photos harder than harder!!
I use a NAS mainly for backup and to free up space by deleting local files. But some apps burn through storage ridiculously fast — like Spotify, Damus, Primal, and the usual centralized social media apps.
Apple intentionally makes it difficult to clear cache, clearly pushing users toward buying more iCloud storage. It’s a frustrating tactic.
