iPhone Storage

i have a full iphone storage that wouldn’t let me download apps even when I deleted most of my apps and personal pics and videos along with more to empty it as much as possible but my storage won’t recuperate or regain itself even when I deleted mostly everything. What options do I have other than purchasing more iCloud storage?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Purchasing more iCloud storage will not give you more space on your phone, your phone's storage is a fixed size.

Try doing a forced restart and see if it shows more space after you've deleted the apps.

Also have a look at the links I've provided to free up more space.


Try a forced restart.

• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
