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.

Hey required240,


Thanks for the reply and clarification of the message you're receiving.


The "iPhone storage almost full” message pertains to your iPhone, and doesn't have anything to do with iCloud.


Take a look at the available iPhone storage by going to Settings > General > About > Available, and verify that there is available space.

If the available space is getting low, this article can help to see what each app is using: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


The storage message should be dismissible. If it's not, have you restarted your iPhone recently? If not, go ahead and do that, as a restart can resolve unexpected issues. Restart your iPhone 


If you still have several GBs available, and the storage message still appears, and/or that message still can not be dismissed, we'd recommend contacting Apple Support. Get Support


Cheers!

I would suggest at this point that you actually make a call to AppleCare and speak to someone on the phone to go over your issues. It is difficult to tell from your description as to whether you are running out of iPhone storage or iCloud storage. And warnings about being close to running out are not "ads", serious problems with your data can occur if you actually run out of storage which is what the message is designed to avoid.
