Why am I unable to store notifications?

Unable to store notification

I continue to get a notification on my iphone that back up is not possible due to lack of storage space. I checked my icloud and I only have 26 photos, so why is it not backing up?

Re: Unable to store notification

Is it the device that's out of space or iCloud?

You can go into settings... Usage... and then manage device or iCloud storage.

Yeah, what Keith said. An iCloud backup consists of a lot of things including photos. So just because you have very few photos it doesn't mean your app data can't take up a lot of space. That's most likely what it is.
