The process of uploading to Facebook resizes the pictures, and degrades the quality of the picture dramatically. It should not be a way of saving permanent copies of anything you care about.

Transferring them to a computer is the correct way to deal with this.

I had this problem as well and came across the solution I have linked. Basically you pretend to rent an HD movie several times and it clears up your cache. I've showed this to other people and I'd say it works for about 2/3 of them. It freed up over a gig for me!

This trick can free up space on your iPhone

I keep checking my storage and cutting down on things,but I've already deleted most of the apps etc and don't see why it still says so much storage is being used...
1) Stop buying 16GB phones.
2) Use online storage. OneDrive is a good start
3) iCloud... seriously it's pretty cheap and has really good integration

Icloud storage is almost full. If I delete photos off the icloud, do I delete the photos off the phone? Or are the phones still on the phone/Ipadmini 2?

Thanks!

Photos in iCloud are either on the phone's storage or not. There's really no way we can answer that for you. If you delete them from one place, they should be removed from the other. The connection between the two is supposed to be seamless.

Download the photos you want to keep to a hard drive, as we have told you, and then delete. Otherwise, the pics will be gone.

Dropbox? Google Drive?

With Google you can choose to keep originals (counts against your quota) or let Google degrade the quality a bit and you get unlimited storage.

This phone was from my last AT&T contract renewal and since most companies have done away with free phones with renewals,I'm going to have to find a new way to finance something new.

You can still get a contract phone if you want, but it is no cheaper than using carrier financing.

I have a 64gb and it has about 15gb remaining (I use OneDrive to store most of my photos and videos). I consider myself to be a power user compared to most others.

Definitely go with a 64gb when you can.

Personally, I think it's pretty shameful Apple would still make their base 16GB even today to "justify" that extra $100.
