Hi guys, so I went to my photos recently and it told me my storage was almost full. I was very confused. I barely have any apps in the first place. My total apps should only be 2-3GB yet it takes up about 25 GB according to my iPhone storage. I was shocked, because last week, my iPhone storage was only about 22 GB.
This has to be a bug. Is there any way to fix this without a complete reboot?

When you get a popup message on your iPhone or iPad that the storage is full.
Look closely storage of iPhone and iCloud.
You cannot increase storage of iPhone. However you can optimise iPhone Storage by using iCloud Storage. Save space on your device
Settings > [your name] > iCloud Tap Photos > Choose Optimize [device] Storage Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
iCloud storage is primarily for keeping a copy of your iPhone data safely on cloud. If you delete data on iPhone, data on iCloud is gone.
iPhone Storage (Setting > General > iPhone Storage)
iCloud Storage (Settings > [Tap your name] > iCloud)
This doesn’t really help with my issue? My problem is that whether I use iCloud or not, the math doesn’t add up. I should have about 22 GB filled assuming I have 5 GB of apps, 8 GB of other, and 8 GB of system storage.
