This could indicate that you have used up the storage space in your iPhone. It's time to clean up a bit.


On your iPhone, go to:

Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage


At the top of the list are the apps that take up the most space on your device. Go through the list and remove any apps that take up a lot of space that you don't use. Some apps can also accumulate a lot of data, especially streaming apps, music apps.
