Storage, storage,. storage!

Janey1a

At the risk of sounding like a tech dummy(!) Can someone please advise how I ensure I have enough storage on my phone.

My family has a very important holiday coming up and I want to be in a position to take loads of videos and photos (and I mean loads!!)

I understand I can increase my iCloud storage for back ups but how do I ensure I have lots of storage to take the photos and videos and keep them on my phone until I return from holiday? Can I increase internal storage on an iPhone or am I supposed to upload photos and videos on a regular basis whilst away (which will prove difficult as I'm not.planning on taking a.laptop).

Uploading to iCloud of GB of photos might eat your mobile data and/or be too slow. Ditto hotel WiFi might struggle uploading large amounts of data.

Your best bet is to bring a laptop and offload the photos as needed to the laptop.

As the guys have said the only other way is to upload to the cloud which would take a lot of time.

The only other way is you could use a Lightning to USB OTG Adapter and use a normal usb flash drive to upload your photos.

I don't think that this adaptor can be used for connecting a pendrive to iPhone. It's not that simple.
For a pendrive, I think, you need a OTG (on the go) adaptor. There are some on the same webpage.

Yeah you are right i should have put OTG which is the £10.99p one.
Well spotted.:T
