How many pictures do you have on your phone? Pictures taken with the phone's camera take about a megabyte each. Do you have more than 145 pictures?

By "my storage," do you mean in Photos on iCloud, or something else? Where are you getting these two numbers?

Richard: Thanks for responding! I have 84 pictures in my photos app. It syncs with iCloud. But when I look at my settings storage, it shows the breakdown of what’s taking up space on my iPhone and it says 21 gigs for photos. Very strange.
