Why is my 128GB iPhone 6S so low on storage?

My two most space-consuming apps or my music and photos, which combined take up exactly 11GB. All my other apps combined use up about 10GB total… So why does my phone say I only have 8GB of space available? About a month ago I checked and it said I had 80GB of available space.

Added (1). Also, its software is completely up-to-date if that may have anything to do with it.

You need to back it up on iTunes, restore defaults and then restore your backup.

Hope this helps

Do you have media in the Recently Deleted section? That could be why.

  • Will photos on iPhone disappear if low on storage? A big chunk of photos disappeared off of my iPhone 6s Plus. I took over 200 pictures from a family vacation to Orlando this past May, and while going back through my photos today, trying to make more room on my phone, over 200 of my photos (and also some videos) where gone. I don't know how long it has been like this, I just noticed it now. Does this have somthing to do with my phone being low on storage? Or is it somthing else?
