If you have many apps, photos, videos, and text messages saved on your phone, then there’s a chance that you could max out your device’s storage, especially if you have a 16GB iPhone.

Utilize the suggested storage cleanup options available in Settings >General > iPhone Storage. These suggestions include deleting old text messages, offloading unused applications, and other tips for increasing storage.
