my photos are currently taking up 45GB of storage on my iPhone 11 and i have 128 GB of storage all together. however my friend’s photos only take up 2GB and she has the iPhone 13. Bearing in mind, i have around 4000 photos and videos and she has around 10,000. any ideas on why this is?
Your friend may have iCloud Photos and its Optimize Storage option turned on. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
Also note that if you both have both of those options turned on, the optimization process won't necessarily make the storage on both of your devices the same as optimization depends on a number of factors including the need to free up storage on a device.

She may only be keeping snapshots on her iPhone and living the full size photos on iCloud.
