iPhone says not enough storage but there is

I have iCloud enabled to upload my photos but it is stuck uploading and the message "Not enough iPhone storage" is shown. I however still have 2.3GB storage available on my device.

What can I do to resolve this?

Hi... I was facing the same issue with my girlfriend’s phone. We upgraded her iCloud to 50GB plan, cleared 1GB on her phone, but kept getting the same error.


I tried a few different things, like disabling iCloud and reenabling, restarting phone to clear cache, etc, but nothing worked.


The last of my attempts, which finally made it start working, was by deleting and disabling the backup data/job. After doing that, the Photos started syncing.


Will reenable backup (which hadn’t run since 2018) after photos are all uploaded.
