Just got an iPad mini 6 with 64GB and set it up last night. This morning, I see that the storage is full (63.8GB), mostly taken up by 42GB of Photos (using Optimize iPad Storage).
For reference, I have a 562GB iCloud Photos Library and on my iPhone (also set to Optimize iPhone Storage), Photos takes up 16GB even though I have more than 100GB free on a 256GB device.
When I try to download a Prime Video movie onto the iPad, I get an error saying there’s not enough storage. Given the Optimize iPad Storage setting, I would have thought it would shrink the Photos storage to allow for the download.
Is there a way to limit the amount of space Photos takes while optimizing or some other solution that would allow me to download movies onto my iPad?
