I have an iPhone with 32Gb of storage. On my phone, I'm constantly getting a notification that my storage is full, even though I have to delete apps and photos all the time to meet this request. When I look at my storage, it says that "Other" is taking up 17Gb of my storage, which is over half. This is highly frustrating as I can't fix this or do anything about it. Why does "Other" take up so much storage? This is ridiculous.
iPhone 7, iOS 13

There is certainly a reason, but we don’t know what it is without knowing much more about your particular situation.
Perhaps you have one or more corrupt apps. Perhaps you have an incomplete iCloud transaction in progress. Those are two common reasons.
You might restore the iPhone, and be very careful about what apps you keep on the iPhone. Also be certain you know and monitor the status of your iCloud transactions- backups, photo uploads/downloads, etc.

A few months ago I was having similar problems and it told me to backup my photos to iCloud so I tried that and it never fully went through. It is constantly stuck at "halfway" and never fully finishes. I can't undo it or help it move along faster.

My above response applies.

You may also have an iPhone storage problem.
Check Settings > General > iPhone Storage and be certain your free space is never less than 10% of your iPhone’s total storage.
