My phone has 128gb of storage and my photos take up 127.37gb. At one point i had 130gb of photos, I don’t even have that many photos because I know others who have more photos than me. I’ve checked and my photos have been on saving and low HD. Please help because even if I try, I cannot clear up space. 😢😭
iPhone 13, iOS 16
this is quite unreasonable, photos take up 127.37gb/128gb. if you worry about the data loss, you can airdrop the photos to your Mac or transfer to another storage device for backup first. then try to restart your iPhone, or sign out/in apple account to check again. also, make your iOS is updated, empty the trash in every app that stores photos.
Did you already check the Recently Deleted folder insider the Photo app, if there are any photos left?
Did you try to force restart the iPhone?

Your iPhone can not sync the photos to iCloud, because there is not enough free space on your device.
Can you copy photos from your iPhone to your computer, to have at least the current photos at a safe place?

After that delete some of the photos, to gain more free space, so that the iPhone can start to work correctly again.
Are you using iCloud Photos to sync your pictures to iCloud?
If so, did you check, how many photos are synced in iCloud already?

If you back up your device to iCloud and you are running out of iCloud storage, you will have to extend your iCloud storage plan:
I have just cleared my recently deleted but my photos still take a great amount of storage. Though, i’m scared to force restart because many of my photos aren’t backed up. What confuses me is I have roughly 8’900 altogether and my phone says 8,800~ are paused on backing up. Wouldn’t this mean i’m only supposed to have 100 photos or what because this does not seem right. PLEASE HELP URGENT!!!!!
HELP
ive just checked and it says i only have 1gb of icloud storage and it has been backing up apps i’ve already deleted. But that doesn’t take away from all the photos and my phone storage. i think, pls help
It is synced and it says 681 photos and 38 videos and syncing 8,808. But often when the storage goes up to 127 my phone started restarting on its own and in some cases makes me restart certain apps like tiktok.
Yes i’ll do that but what i want to figure out is how my photos take up 120+gb when i have 8k photos but my friend who has the same phone has 12k photos and her photos app only takes up around 22gb. I don’t understand but i want answers
Photos taking up 126gb/128gb
