I haven't heard of this. How much free storage do you have on your phone?

Settings>Genereal>iPhone Storage.

Mine says 54 GB of 128 GB used. What does yours say?


What do you mean by "reboot?" Have you done this?

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

This is different from a simple Power Off. I had to continue holding the button down past the "slide to power off" message, and then I released the button only after  the Apple Logo appeared indicating a re-start.
