Storage

Yesterday a message popped up on my phone about me not having enough storage, then my iphone 11pro suddenly turned off and took approximately 20 minutes to turn on again. When it turned on I only had/now have 500 photos and videos, I used to have around 3000. In the camera roll it says it is restoring my photos from icloud but it has been saying that since yesterday night and none of my photos have returned.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

iPhone Storage Issue, Glitch or Simple Solve? I am very confused, even when I use iCloud Photos, it still says I have over 200 photos “restoring” to my photos app. I just today deleted almost all my photos. I have 2 remaining. It still says I have 75 GB of photos storage.

iPhone Storage Reporting Problems. Did the iPhone storage reporting problem ever get fixed? I am on an iPhone 11 Pro Max with 256 GB storage and IOS 16.2 and after deleting all but 2000 of my photos, it still shows I am using 222+ GB. I turned off iCloud photo backup and iCloud shows very little storage used.

Gigabytes of pics stuck in iphone 12 – despite uploading to iCloud Got an iPhone 12 and restored it from an iCloud copy of my iPhone X. Now there’s suddenly 4 Gb of pictures in my new phone – whereas all my pics were in iCloud and took zero bytes space on the old phone. Now I’m wondering where these pics came from. The space they take up seems to fluctuate – on any given moment it’s 4Gb and suddenly 2Gb and then back to 4Gb or so. Phone has been connected to power overnight. Phone is connected to wifi overnight. Phone is not in low power mode. I do have enough iCloud storage available (110G / 200G used) Restarted iPhone a couple of times. Turned iCloud photos off and on again I have the latest iOS Software in both phones. Any advice and / or help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you left the device plugged in to power, connected to WiFi, and locked in the meantime?
