iCloud Optimize Mac Storage on iPhone
If the original is not on the phone, we cannot send what is not there.
Do this
- In Settings → Photos, keep originals on this iPhone if you want us to hold a real copy.
- Otherwise we can only send the device-sized stand-in.
Keep in mind
This is the trap. The widget cannot invent a file iCloud already evicted.
iCloud Optimize Mac Storage on iPhone sits inside a simple product: original-quality iPhone backup, quiet on Wi‑Fi, a restore that brings the dates back. Not a feed. Not a compressed cousin.
You set it up once in the iPhone app. New photos leave when the phone is calm. If the handset dies, you sign in on the next one. That is the whole job.
