iPhone says storage is full but in settings it says I still have space

My iPhone 7 has 128 GB of storage. I keep getting the notification saying “iPhone storage full“ when I try to open apps. I have gone to my settings to check how much storage I have left and it says I have only used 43.2 GB of storage out of 128 GB. I have checked my cache in safari and in other apps to see if that is the problem and I cannot seem to find anything. I hope someone can help me

iPhone 7, iOS 12

When you get a popup message on your iPhone or iPad that the storage is full.

Look closely storage of iPhone or iCloud

iPhone Storage (Setting > General > iPhone Storage)

Total storage remains same through out life span of the iPhone
Storage can not be enhanced
You may take back up on Mac or PC using iTunes without iCloud

iCloud Storage (Settings > [Tap your name] > iCloud)

By default every user gets 5GB of free storage space
You can buy more storage based on your requirement 50, 200GB, 2TB with monthly subscription
Based on your storage capacity you can back up iPhone or iPad
The space can be shared between your family members for storage plan beyond 200GB
