last software update was with iOS16.0.2 on Friday

Capacity 256GB

Songs 0

Videos 48

app 52

Available 179.98 GB

can't use iTunes to follow what was suggested on the forum as it doesn't open by default and goes straights to photos.

So what diagnostic should I run?

Thank you for your help

When you get a popup message on your iPhone or iPad that the storage is full.


Look closely at the storage of the iPhone and iCloud


iPhone Storage (Setting > General > iPhone Storage)

  1. Total storage remains the same throughout the life span of the iPhone
  2. Storage can not be increased
  3. You may take a backup on Mac or PC using iTunes / Finder


iCloud Storage (Settings > [Tap your name] > iCloud)

  1. By default, every user gets 5GB of free storage space
  2. You can buy more storage based on your requirement 50GB, 200GB, or 2TB with a monthly subscription to Apple One you may get more storage.
  3. Based on your storage capacity you can back up your iPhone or iPad

The iCloud storage space can be shared between your family members for storage
