Well everything is coming with trade-offs… Go to storage in settings and delete some old iCloud message attachments. Good pics you send all the time take a lot of storage. I found out that ie the podcast app took some gb despite deleting all old episodes… Delete the app (sync to iCloud before!) and reinstall the app - poof it reduced the app size to a large amount of storage. If you’re running out of iCloud space, deactivate the the iCloud backup of your phone and make a new backup by activating it again…
