Hi, my problem is that i can't update my phone to IOS 16.4. I have enough storage but it still says that there must be at least 11 GB storage and I do have that much,but i still can't seem to update my phone.

If I were you I’d go right into the storage menu in the Settings app and offload every single large app that you can (you can immediately reinstall them after the update, and they’ll remember your data), and if Messages is listed as taking up more than a gig of space, I’d delete any large attachments you see there, like videos you’ve sent to friends or family in the past. This will likely free up a lot more storage space to make sure you have more than enough. I’m talking if the iPhone says you need 11 gigs, try to give yourself 20+ to be safe. If you do this and it still doesn’t work, I’d recommend you contact Apple because it sounds like that could be a problem.

It certainly sounds like one of these assertions is incorrect.
"it" means the system of my phone. i looked up to my storage on my settings and i certainly did have enough storage for an update. i calculated my free space multiple times too. my phone has 64GB storage and 50 GB of that storage was being used. i had 14 GB more and i still couldn't update my phone
