Reply to comment by Zcott in How does iCloud work? by Zaorth

I see! Sorry for another dumb question, but since its on auto sync, all the photos/videos will take up the iCloud space instead of phone storage correct? Unless my iCloud is full only then will it affect my phone storage?

If you’ve selected 'optimise storage' then it'll show you thumbnails on the phone but download full res when asked. And yes, taking a photo will use both iCloud and local storage.

I see. Is there a way for it to only be on the cloud? So it doesn’t fill up my phone storage

You can't just manually remove from phone, but the phone WILL remove local copies if the space is low enough for it to matter.
