Actually I have a follow up question. Would there be a way to store information from my iPhone to my iPad, instead of backing it up? Let me know if this doesn’t make any sense, I kind of worded it weirdly. Thanks again!
No, you can backup an iPhone to a computer or to iCloud. A backup is meant to be a mirror image of what's on the iPhone, not a way to free up storage.

Okay, thanks!
So, you want to "offload" items from your iPhone and just have them on the iPad?
Not really. You need to delete items from your iPhone if you're out of room on it.

Okay, will keep that in mind. Thanks again!
