Free up storage space on my iPhone

Hi, I have very little to no space left on my phone somehow because of imessages. Somehow it keeps soaking up more and more space even when I've deleted everything. How is it taking up 27 gigabytes? It genuinely doesn't add up.

Hello,

Follow the steps here to free up storage:

How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Note: deleted photos are not necessarily deleted from the phone.  You may have to go to Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted and delete them from there to truly free up storage.

Then restart your phone. 

Also, go to Settings > Messages > Keep Messages and set it to the lowest length of time to retain messages.

Good luck.
