Best ways to free iPhone storage when you have plenty of iCloud

My iPhone storage is full, but I have lots of iCloud storage. I have my photos on iCloud and my phone. What’s the best way to free up storage? Is there more I can put into iCloud storage?

What is taking up room on your phone? Is it photos? Just copy them to a computer and delete them from your phone.

I had this recently and ended up offloading probably half the apps on my phone.

Have you got the optimise phone storage option in photos ticked?

Looked in iphone storage in settings and do everything it suggested there?

Delete videos? They are generally 10 times as big as photos
