BUGS IN IPHONE 7 AFTER IOS 15 UPDATE REGARDING MEMORY

I am using iPhone 7 with 32GB and after updating IOS 15 on my iPhone it's shocking for me that my phone is showing 35.06 GB available space. Please resolve my issue and after restarting my phone it reduces to 34.8 GB. What is this?

For some users, iOS 15 caused some phone to read memory incorrectly. You're the first person I've seen whose phone shows more memory than the phone can hold to begin with.


iOS 15.0.1 was released yesterday, which was supposed to fix some of these memory issues. Update your phone to 15.0.1. Then Force Restart your phone after the update installs and you sign back in.


See this to know how to Force Restart:


Press and hold both the volume down button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

OK.....while you phone shows the wrong amount of memory, you clearly are too low in real memory to download the update. Delete some things from your phone you don't need or use. This can include Apps, Photos, Music, Vidoes, Files, Messages, Email, etc.


Clear enough space, then try the update.


If that doesn't work, do the update by connecting your phone to your home computer and use iTunes to update. Using your computer is honestly the method I would use as it would put a fresh copy of iOS on your phone, likely clearing any issues in the process.
