ios 13.5.1 storage issues

Memory storage usage under 'other' has gone by 8.4 GB in my iPhone 6S, after I installed iOS 13.5.1.

How to reduce this? my phone is a 16GB memory device and now it is always full, as the 'System' and 'Other' takes up 15 GB. Is there a fix to bring the Other storage use.



iPhone 6s, iOS 13

It is infuriating. I surrendered and backed mine up on iCloud and then reset my phone removing everything and then installing the backup. So far (about 24 hours) it has remained stable. I cleared up 16GB with the reset. My ‘other‘ category is now 3.8GB it had grown to 18GB. I haven’t reactivated some of my apps. Will probably bring them back one at a time and monitor things for a few days before adding another.

What I can see with this person’s comment is he was arguing and didn’t even care to help. I am using iphone x 64 GB. After update my other storage is taking 40 GB of data. According to this person’s reply we should through our iphones if it is old model, 64 or less. Apple is going worst day by day. In one of the articles, I read Apple does these things in their update. So, that people start feeling frustrated and get a new iphone. Apple is the only company which is not on any social media platforms. So, that customers won’t criticize them for whatever they are doing.

Enough of Apple issues. I am switching to Android.

You should always get the device that best meets your needs. And, of course, Android devices are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. You will never have any problem of any kind with your Android phone.

I had same issue but it is fixed and My iPhone storage has enough space now.

Take a backup of your iPhone ( ICloud preferably)

Do a factory reset

Login to your iCloud account

wait for the sync to complete that will get all your data saved on icloud

Once Done Your Iphone is ready with lot of storage.

Hope this helps like it helped me and many others in this discussions.

Apple can’t fix a problem with your phone without actually troubleshooting your phone. Go to Settings/General/iPhone storage and see what is using the most storage. For example, if Other is very large (>10 GB) that can indicate storage corruption. Other is all data on the phone that is not shown in the colored graph categories when you go to Settings/General/iPhone Storage. Other is typically 1-2 GB. If it is larger, to fix this follow these steps:
