Hi
I have an iPhone 7 128gb. I have iCloud storage.
When I check the storage on my iPhone in the iPhone settings it says I have used 36.5GB of 128GB.
When I connect the iPhone to a computer, it says I have only 5.41GB free.
In my iCloud storage my photos take up 121.87GB.
My question is, am I in danger of running out of space on my iPhone or can I rely on the figures I see in my iPhone settings?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
iPhone 7 Plus
