How can one disable “iPhone Storage Almost Full” notifications?

I have more than 50GB free on my 256GB iPhone 12 Pro Max. After shutting off most of my iCloud features, I am now pestered with a pop-up and settings notification that my iPhone storage is almost full(it’s not). This is actually an ad for iCloud that cannot be dismissed. I don’t want to use iCloud on this device, and I especially don’t want non-removable ads on a device that cost me $1200.

The previous thread on this issue went unanswered, and rude people suggested the user should just pay for iCloud to fix it….

If there is a proper solution, I’d like to know.

If there isn’t, suggesting I “pay to remove ads” isn’t going to cut it for me.

I have the same exact issue. Newest iOS update did it I believe. I have 30GB free and it constantly tells me I’m out of storage. Like others have said, it’s ridiculous that a 1200 dollar phone has a notification pressuring you to buy their overpriced cloud storage option.

I’m sorry are you some sort of veteran here or moderator. To me it wasn’t clear and I can’t see how saying contact Apple Support is unhelpful. Please post your solution to the problem so I can use that in the future.

Of course, you can't see why it was unhelpful because it wasn't. It was quite appropriate. Have a great holiday deggie and don't let the peanut gallery get you down!

As my mother used to say (and probably yours did, too), if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Or, my favorite Abraham Lincoln quote, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

Happy holidays!

I’m getting a iPhone storage is almost full notification, I have 10 GB left like I always have, but now the notification won’t disappear and it keeps telling me to upgrade my iCloud and upload all my photos to lessen my iphone storage. How do you get rid of this?

I did a hard reset on an iphone 7 showing the same irritating notification and then tapped on the notification once the phone restarted. The notification first popped up when I had just under 4GB left on the phone storage. Removed a few rarely used apps to bring the storage available over 5GB then restarted the phone and it seems to have worked.

Same problem here. iPhone XR running software v15.2.1. with 50Gb free of 128Gb total and I am still getting the iPhone storage full message with NO WAY to cancel except click through to manage storage. First option is iCloud Storage (I don't want iCloud storage) Why Apple? Why?

I did read it and found it confusing and more of a rant. Which is why I suggested calling Apple.

New iOS 15.0.1 software update directly addresses this issue.

I am currently running iOS 15.1 and the message began shortly after updating to that build. I also have 39GB free and have no reason to be receiving this message.
