I'm considering purchasing 50GB of iCloud storage since my phone is running low on space. I understand that iCloud is meant to store my photos and other files, and I'm hoping that by using it, I can free up space on my phone. Is that how it works?

iCloud storage helps, but it's not a magic solution. You still need to manage your phone's storage. Check your iPhone Storage in Settings to see what is taking up the most space. For instance, if it's large apps, consider offloading them. If it's cache from social media apps, delete it or reinstall the apps. Also, keep in mind that 50GB might not be enough if you have a lot of photos.
Just to clarify, your device needs to have some free space for iCloud to work properly. However, you can still upload to iCloud even when your phone is full. Once your files are in iCloud, you can start clearing space on your phone.
Yes, if you set your photos to upload to iCloud, it will store them there and replace them on your phone with lower resolution placeholders. This saves space on your device since the full-sized photos will only download when you need them.
