Wondering if your iPhone is short on storage / memory space. Eg: An iPhone generally needs around 8 Gb free in order to do all you ask it to do. How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support


If you use iCloud, that storage is quite separate from how much space you have on your iPhone:

If needed: See how to: "Manage space on your iPhone in the article below f

If you need more space for an update on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

You may have a back-up of any precious videos and data. It is always a wise move to back everything up .. .

However:

The videos are likely to be in the "Recently Deleted" folder for up to 30 days, before they are permanently deleted. Yet to restore them, the iPhone would need enough memory / storage space free.

(Alternatively, you could store them on a computer or external /zip drive.)
