Unfortunately the storage of your iPhone is “locked in” at manufacture.


On-device storage can NOT be added.


iCloud provides you w/ options to “offload” some data from your phone … essentially giving it more “elbow room.”


iPhones often fill up w/ photos and videos. See these ways to help manage what on-device storage you DO have.
