You're probably tired of running out of storage space on Google Photos. Google Photos offers unlimited storage for compressed photos, but that's not the only option.
Google Photos allows you to upload high-quality photos and videos, which can be stored for free as long as they are compressed to 16 megapixels or less.
Compressing photos to 16 megapixels or less reduces their quality but allows you to store them for free.

Google Photos for iPhone Guide
Google Photos for iPhone is a game-changer for anyone who loves taking photos and videos. The app offers unlimited storage for photos and videos up to 16 megapixels and 1080p HD resolution, respectively.
To get started, download the Google Photos app from the App Store and sign in with your Google account. You can also use your iPhone's camera to upload photos directly to Google Photos.
Google Photos for iPhone allows you to upload photos and videos from your iPhone's camera roll, as well as from other sources like Google Drive and Google+.
The app automatically organizes your photos and videos into albums and folders, making it easy to find what you're looking for. You can also create custom albums and add captions to your photos.
The Basics
Google Photos offers unlimited photo backups, but with a catch - your photos will be compressed, losing their original quality.
To store unlimited original-quality images, you need to make sure your iPhone is shooting in HEIC format. This is a specific format that allows you to take advantage of the unlimited storage hack.
To enable HEIC on your iPhone, head to Settings > Camera > Formats and select High Efficiency. This setting is supported on iPhone 7 and later models.
Once you've enabled HEIC on your iPhone, you'll need to adjust your Google Photos settings. Go to the app's Settings section and make sure the High quality (free unlimited storage) option is selected under the Back up & sync heading.
