Storage full

Hye i’m using 6s and currently my storage is full with no single photo in albums and i’d tried the famous “change the date method” to find phantom photos and did not work for me at all. For now i only have whatsapp and google photos app, and if anyone suggesting to download any app regarding the said problem i’m sorry I can’t. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
