iPhone 11 256GB says out of space

My iPhone 11 keeps saying it’s out of space when I clearly am not. I have the 256GB version and I’ve used 75.

Hello jcreamer898n and welcome to Apple Support Communities.


I see you have a question about photo storage on your iPhone.


It appears that you are trying to sync an existing iCloud Photo library to the device and that the library has more than 65K items in it.


About storage on your device and in iCloud - Apple Support


The amount of storage showing on the iPhone at Settings > General > iPhone Storage refers to what is currently on the device. It's very possible that there is not enough space on the device to sync a very large photo library such as yours.


You may want to use the option to Optimize iPhone Storage at Settings > Photos. This would leave full-resolution versions of the items in your library on iCloud and only download lower-resolution versions to your device until you actually need to access them.


Cheers.
