Photos App taking up 153GB of storage on a 128GB iPhone

I have noticed this problem a few months ago but it never bothered in anything but now I can’t update to iOS17 because it says I don’t have enough storage even though I do

Hi there leonorlpg,


Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. For help with your photos storage, we suggest beginning with the recommendations in the Apple Support Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support. If you use iCloud Photos, the amount of photos you see may reflect photos that are in iCloud, not just what is on your device.


You can get more help managing iPhone storage to help update your iOS here: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


Don't hesitate to respond back if you still need some assistance.


Cheers!
