What you need to do in such a case is make space for the new OS version to download. Operating systems can take quite a large amount of space, so it is normal that your phone requires some extra storage for the update.
The easiest ways to free up storage are:
- delete movies or series you have downloaded on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and so on, you can always re-download them after the update as the previous OS will have been deleted
- transfer photos and movies from your gallery either to the cloud or to a computer (using iTunes). The good thing about this method is that your pictures will be safe if something bad happens to your phone, and that you have more free storage after the update
- finally, you can try to delete some heavy apps which take up a lot of storage, such as detailed games (PUBG mobile for example)
Best of luck!
