By default, Apple products like iPhone and iPad provide users with 5GB of free storage after creating an iCloud account to sync and store data on the device. However, after some usage, with the 'limited' 5GB and increasing storage needs, your storage space may quickly run out. At this point, deleting unimportant photos to free up storage space becomes essential. In this article, Mytour shares with readers how to delete photos on iCloud for iPhone and iPad to optimize your iCloud storage without the need to create another iCloud account.
