iPhone stuck in boot loop (low storage)

Hello , yesterday I noticed my iPhone 12 Pro becoming very slow. I went to settings and saw I had only 200mb left. I tried deleting some videos, but they kept reappearing. Then, the spinning loading circle and my iPhone crashed. It then went into boot loop.

Hard resetting with volume/power buttons didn’t work.

I left it on the charger overnight and it turned back on, only to crash and go into boot loop again when I tried unlocking it. I left it overnight again and it is now back on.

What do I do? I cannot unlock it, since it will just go into boot loop again. Is there any way I can recover my phone, get it to unlock without having to restore it in iTunes?

Please help! Can I back up to itunes without unlocking my phone? I don’t want to lose my data. I cannot unlock it because it will boot loop again.

It did not work. Maybe I should say it again, my iPhone is turned on and on the lock screen, but I can’t unlock it, because it will go into boot loop. Low storage.

Probably you have synced these Photos from your Mac/PC though iTunes. Un-sync then they be gone.

Un-Sync photos to your device

Connect your device to your Mac.
You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. To turn on Wi-Fi syncing, see Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi.
In the Finder on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.
Select Photos in the button bar.
Note: When iCloud Photos is turned on, no photo syncing options appear when you select Photos in the button bar.
Select “Sync Photos to your device from” tickbox, then choose Photos, Pictures or a folder from the pop-up menu.
Uncheck Sync photos
Click on Apply / Sync
