Phone storage full. I’ve deleted apps, photos and videos and it doesn’t change, still using same GB. Still have over 150 GB in the storage I bought, not sure how to get it transferred over. Phone keeps continuing to crash
I’ve deleted tons of apps tons of pictures and tons of videos and the storage does it change keep saying that it’s full and I can’t do an update and my phone keeps crashing. I still have over 150 GB in my extra storage I bought but I don’t know how to transfer the pictures over to free up storage on my phone so that I can do an update
Your photos are always available for both iPhone and iCloud. You delete it on the iPhone it is gone from iCloud and vice-versa. To save space on your iPhone use optimized iPhone storage. Remember, if you delete in one it is deleted everywhere.
Get started with iCloud Photos:
Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos.
Turn on iCloud Photos.
Select Optimize iPhone Storage to save space on your device.
With Optimize Storage, smaller, space-saving photos and videos are kept on your device while all of your original, full-resolution versions are stored in iCloud. And as long as you have enough space in iCloud, you can store as many photos and videos as you want.

I’ve got optimize iPhone storage checked but it’s still only showing using 50gb of the 200gb I purchased extra. While my device says I’m using 64 of 65gb. I can delete 10 apps, 20 videos and 100 pictures and it still says using 64gb and won’t let me take pictures.
