It helps you free up your iPhone’s space by backing up all your photos to the cloud (IceCream secure cloud) directly. The best part is that it leaves low resolution version of the photos in your phone as well, so that you can anytime see the photos. Those photos occupy very less space on your phone.

Let us see the steps for using this free iPhone app.
How to use the built-in camera:
Simply tap the camera icon at the bottom of the app interface to open up the IceCream camera. This built-in camera captures high-resolution photos and stores them directly to the cloud. The camera has an option to toggle between classic camera mode and shoot-and-send mode. In the classic camera mode, the photos will be stored online if you’re connected to the internet or else the photos will be stored in your camera roll. But the shoot-and-send mode can be used to share your photos with others as soon as you capture them. The following screenshot shows how to use the built-in camera.
How to free up iPhone’s space:
The app tells you how many photos you will be able to capture with the available iPhone’s space. You can free up space by syncing your photos to the cloud and removing them from your camera roll. All of the stored photos in the app will be viewable even when you’re not connected to the internet. The resolution of the photos doesn’t get affected much and the photos remain beautifully optimized when you’re offline. The following screenshot shows the recommendation of freeing up space and number of photos which can be taken using IceCream camera.
How to send and share photos:
You can send up to 20 photos at once to your friends either by email or by inviting them (IceCream users) to your IceCream account. So no more saving photos to your camera roll to share them, as this app allows you to do so directly from the cloud after capturing a photo. When you invite others to your IceCream account, they will be able to see your photos and share their photos with you as well.
How to download original photos:
Whenever you try to download the original photos from the cloud, you will be provided a code via SMS to your registered phone number. As soon as you feed the code in the app, you can download the original photos. In order to keep your photos private and safe, it uses two-factor authentication, which means before you download a photo, you have to feed the code sent to you.
My Final Verdict:
IceCream is definitely one of the best camera apps for iPhone to take photos and sync them directly to the cloud. It helps you free up iPhone’s space without losing your precious photos. Personally, I like this app because it allows us to view our photos even when we are not connected to the internet and also without affecting the resolution much.
