iCloud Photo is a valuable feature built into iOS and macOS that allows you to save your photos and videos and keep them in sync across all of your Apple devices. Whether you just got a new device or want to start using the feature for the first time.

There are some great benefits to using iCloud Photos such as having one synchronized photo and video library across your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web including edits. Another is having the option to compress your iCloud photo and video library so it takes up less room on your iOS devices while backing up your content at full resolution.
