Hello dreamawa_y,


I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having an issue with a mismatch in the reported storage usage/number of photos on your iPhone, you may want to make sure you have a backup of your data, then try the following troubleshooting steps (the article is aimed at a slightly different issue, but the steps are also helpful for storage reporting issues):


If your device gets stuck during startup

When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:


  1. Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
  2. Put your device in recovery mode.
  3. When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.


If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support


Sincerely,

- Brenden
