If you need more storage, you&rsquo;ll need to pay for more storage, or you will not be able to backup your photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, some people prefer using iTunes backup, which allows you to store even large backup files (e.g. lots of photos and videos) provided you have enough hard disk space on your computer. Also, there is no cost involved in iTunes backup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, unlike iCloud backup, you can0t see backed-up photos if you have performed an iTunes backup unless you use a backup extractor tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/recommends\/dr-fone-backup-restore-ios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dr.fone Backup &amp; Restore iOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-do-my-photos-go-when-i-backup-my-iphone\">Where do my photos go when I backup my iPhone?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As discussed earlier, there are two methods of backing up pictures on an iPhone.

We&rsquo;ll walk you through each of them so that you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-backup-photos-using-icloud\">1. Backup Photos using iCloud<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>This backup method is Apple&rsquo;s own method that allows users to back up their photos and other essential data to a remote cloud server right from their Apple device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can backup up to 5GB of your data for free on iCloud, including photos that are synced between all your Apple devices using the same iCloud account. However, if your data exceeds this limit, you will have to buy extra storage from Apple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you back up your photos on iCloud and delete any photo from your device, it will reflect in iCloud and other devices that use the same Apple ID (assuming you have sync turned on).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the &ldquo;Enable iCloud feature&rdquo; section for how to back up your photos on iCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-backup-using-itunes\">2. Backup using iTunes<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>iTunes is another backup method provided by Apple that allows users to save their data on their computer hard disk manually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas iCloud requires you to buy extra storage if you exceed the free storage limit, iTunes lets you backup as much data as you want provided you have enough storage space on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method comes in handy if you don&rsquo;t want to upload your photos to the cloud. However, iTunes requires a bit more effort as you need to manually connect your iPhone to your PC in order to back up your pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how to perform a backup using iTunes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Connect your iPhone to your computer with a USB cable<\/li><li>Launch iTunes on your computer and log in with your Apple ID<\/li><li>Click on your iPhone&rsquo;s device icon on the left bar &gt; click Photos<\/li><li>Check the &ldquo;Sync Photos&rdquo; option &gt; select the folder (Photos app) from where you want to back up photos.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Now select &ldquo;All photos and albums.&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;Apply&rdquo;.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to be aware of is that you will not be able to view the backed up photos in iTunes directly like you would in iCloud or Google Photos. To see photos stored in iTunes, you need to use a backup extractor tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/recommends\/dr-fone-backup-restore-ios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dr.fone iOS Backup &amp; Restore<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-backup-using-google-photos\">3. Backup using Google Photos<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Google Photos let you back up up to 15GB of photos for free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like iCloud, Google photos also back up all your images on a cloud server. The Google Photos app is extremely user-friendly and organizes your photos efficiently. You can also find your backed-up photos with a keyword search.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, all of your backed-up photos can be accessed from any device using Google photos since they are stored on a cloud server.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how to backup your photos on Google Photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Install &ldquo;Google Photos&rdquo; app on your iPhone and open it<\/li><li>Grant Google Photos access to your photos&nbsp;<\/li><li>Log in to your Google account &gt; Tap on your profile<\/li><li>Choose Google Photo settings &gt; Tap &ldquo;Back up &amp; sync&rdquo;<\/li><li>Toggle &ldquo;Back up &amp; sync&rdquo; on.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4c1204e.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4c1204e.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-19\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4c885df.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4c885df.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-20\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-10 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4cf2c51.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4cf2c51.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-21\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4d63dbd.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_62544e4d63dbd.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-22\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-photos-stay-in-icloud-forever\">Do photos stay in iCloud forever?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Once uploaded to iCloud, your photos will remain there forever unless you delete them manually, either from your Apple device or from iCloud directly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if your storage limit is larger than 5GB or you are using a paid subscription for iCloud, you may not be able to access your photos if you stop paying the iCloud subscription fee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple allows you to download your photos within 30 days after unsubscribing to the iCloud storage plan. After that period, you lose access to your photos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you stop paying, you&rsquo;ll lose access to your photos and no new photos will be backed up to the iCloud unless you reduce your data to 5GB free storage. However, Apple states your data will remains safe in iCloud, and you can access it once you start paying again.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-photos-stay-on-iphone-if-deleted-from-icloud\">Do photos stay on iPhone if deleted from iCloud?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you delete any photo from your iCloud account, it also gets deleted from your iPhone if you have the &ldquo;iCloud Photos&rdquo; feature turned on, which means your photos are synced with iCloud.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have iCloud Photos turned off, on the other hand, deleting a photo from iCloud will not delete it from your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, if you delete a photo from your iPhone, it will stay in the iCloud and in your &ldquo;recently deleted&rdquo; album for 30 days. If you do not restore the deleted photo within 30 days, it will get removed from the iCloud as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-turning-on-icloud-delete-photos-from-iphone\">Does turning on iCloud delete photos from iPhone?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If it is turned on, the &ldquo;iCloud Photos&rdquo; feature automatically backs up all your photos to the iCloud.
