iPhone storage

The “system” and “other” are taking up more than 33 GBs of my iPhone storage. My phone’s storage is only 64 GB; therefore, I don’t have enough storage left. This problem has been occurring for years now, I’ve deleted tens of apps and thousands of pictures and videos but the taken up storage never reduces. So, I concluded the problem would only be solved if I found a way to delete the storage taken up by the “system” and “other.” Please, help me delete it.

All the love ❤️

The only way to gain storage space on your phone is to delete photos, messages, apps, etc.. Be sure to save important photos and data to your computer or an external drive. Always restart after deletions. Check these links...
