My apps take up so much storage on my iphone?

I have an iphone 4 and I know a lot of people have like hundreds of songs, thousands of pictures and a lot of apps. My phone has no music, 608 pictures and 4 apps. 4 apps! That's it. It says I have no more storage to download anything else. It says my pictures take up 1.3gb of storage and I have deleted so many but it doesn't go down. Also my apps that I do have take up about 100mb of storage. Why don't I have much storage? I should have enough but I don't apparently

I would go to your carrier store and ask why because that's no normal. I have a 4 as well and have over 30 apps and 1000 pictures. I have the 16g one

The listed capacity of an iPhone isn't its true usable capacity. For example I have a 32gb iPhone 4 but can only use 28.4gb (gotta have room for software I suppose).So if you only have an 8gb capacity, you may not really have that much memory. Also do you have a lot of videos? Because they can take up a lot of space.

But my iPhone 4 did something similar once. I had to back it up to my computer then restore it so that it would show the correct available capacity. You should try that.

  • Why do my pictures take up so much storage? I have a black iPhone 5s and it's capacity is 12.1 gigabytes. I also have bought 200 gigabytes for iCloud storage. I've had my iPhone 5s for almost a year now, and my storage has been acting up lately. I've deleted most of my pictures and I now only have 35 pictures and 2 videos. The weird part- it says that my photo library takes up 10.2 gigabytes! I can't download and other apps and the only other apps that I have are Clash of Clans, PlayBuzz and Wishbone. I have no songs.
  • Why do my photos on my iPhone 4s take up so much storage? I have 455 items on my camera roll. I have about 80 videos, none go over 2 minutes. The total storage used by my 455 items on my camera roll is 8.83 gb. How do I fix this problem?
  • What to do about my iphone storage saying I'm using up way more photo storage than I actually am? My storage says I have 132 photos that's using up most of my storage; almost 3 GB. I have only 52 photos and 15 videos in my phone. It seems like it may be using storage from pictures I deleted, but apparently they're still using space? ? Has this happened to anyone else. I've taken my phone to an apple store, and I didn't get any answers.
  • On the I cloud on the Iphone what does total storage and available storage mean? Basically it says total storage 5gb and availible storage 5 gb. Does that mean there's already 5 gb of files on the Icloud?
