Iphone storage

Hey all,

My iphone 12 Pro has a memory of 128 GB but now it is full and when i check the details of the iphone storage I find that photos is taking 85 GB however I only have 10K photos and videos (the longest one is 2 minutes) and every time I delete as much photos as I can I find that it didn’t free up a considerable space (1K photos emptied 2 GB). I also have to mention that the photos app always lags and whenever I open it I have to wait around 2 minutes to start doing anything in the app.

thanks.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

If you check Settings > General > iPhone Storage and you find 'Other' is taking a significant amount of space, then it appears that if restarting your phone does not reduce the space used by 'Other', the only way to recover that space is to Backup and Restore your phone. Use and encrypted backup to preserve passwords and other sensitive data.

Even short videos can take up much more space than a photo and it adds up. The space issue may be more related to the number of videos you have.
