iPhone Showing More Available Storage Than Built In

Ever since updating to iOS15, my iPhone shows more available capacity for memory than what’s physically in the phone under the “About” section. However, when I go to the iPhone Storage option, it says I’ve used Zero KB, but shows used space on the graph. I’ve checked all over and cannot find a solution. Anyone having this issue or know how to correct?

Guys, Firstly, sorry for my bad English.


I found my solution with iphone XR, but not sure if it’s really work with your cases or not.




my workaround are as follows

1. Updated ios from 15.0 to the latest version (as of today its 15.1)

2. This still doesn’t fix the storage problem. Then I changed iphone language in Setting>general>Language&Region>iphone language.

3. As i’m Thai, so I changed from English to Thai. Then switched back to English again.

4. Go and check available storage again.



it’s works!!

I've played around a bit with this on my 13 mini. It looks to me like somewhere in the software there is probably a "+" rather than a "-". When I download new stuff (a playlist from spotify) the available number goes up. When I delete things it goes down. A bit of an annoying bug but nothing that affects DTD usability
