After the update 27.2 my phone 16Pro Max is out. It has been taken a lot of my free storage and now nothing is working properly...viber is not opening, my camera is not opening,a lot of other important apps for me are not opening.... i want to go to the previous update. Now i have a phone without having a phone. How can i do it ?

I would recommend making sure that 

  1. you have twice as many GB of iCloud storage as the size of the phone.
  2. Everything, yes everything is sync'd to iCloud in Settings, iCloud
  3. Having ensured that the sync is complete, wait maybe 2 days, you then 
  4. Backup to iCloud (which will be smaller size now)
  5. Erase all content and settings
  6. Restore the backup - this will reduce system files to a minimum and reestablish Photos with thumbnails
  7. Watch out for Youtube and apps like TikTok and Insta, which can simply be uninstalled, Whatsapp which needs serious data reduction usually

Downgrading isn't supported by Apple.

Have you gone and deleted or offload data off your phone so you can gain back more internal storage?
