Hello there ershad291,

It sounds like you would like to know more about System storage on your iPhone. We’d be happy to provide some information.

System is space taken by the operating system. This can vary based on your device and model. You can learn more about about this in the ‘Content categories’ section here:

Take care!

Hi there,

Firstly thank you very much for your reply.

I would like to note that my İphone’s storage capacity is 16 Gb.

But almost more than half of it (8.34GB) is full of with system capacity. System shows 8.34 GB.

So, my guestion is :

✔️is the space of operating system (8.34 GB) normal index for İphone 6 ?

✔️how can I minimize/decrease system capacity in order to get additional space.

looking forward to your early reply

thank you in advance !

ershad291,

We appreciate that information.

There would not be a way to reduce the amount of storage ‘System’ uses on your iPhone.

Follow the ‘Free up space on your device’ section here to make more available storage on your iPhone:

Cheers!
