There are several ways to free up space on your phone. First, go through your photos and delete unnecessary ones, especially those screenshots you might not have deleted. Second, review your videos, as they often occupy significant space. Consider categorizing photos by type, like life photos versus screenshots, instead of sections. Next, remove old emails you no longer need. Additionally, update your software, as bugs can increase system data. I faced this issue recently; updating my phone lowered the storage usage. If desired, consider investing in iCloud storage. This allows you to back up your phone, storing smaller photo versions on the device while saving full versions in the cloud. If space remains an issue, you can invest in iCloud storage (ranging from $.99 to two dollars), back up your phone, and perform a hard reset. Alternatively, use iTunes on a computer or Mac to back up your phone.


Hope this helps!
