not enough storage space available

When I want to update or download a new app, I get the notification that there's not enough storage space available.
When I go to my Iphone memory, it says that i still have 84,3GB of storage left...
How is this possible then and what can I do?

Thanks!



iPhone 7, iOS 12

iPhone Storage Vs iCloud Storage


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)

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


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

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