The "other" memory is huge after the iOS 15 update

Hi, after updating to iOS 15, OTHER STORAGE is too big due to the fact that applications such as Call Of Duty or PuBG that download data (maps, skins...) will be displayed in the other storage and not in the application storage. On iOS 14 CoD had 10GB, on iOS 15 it has only 3GB. Because 7GB are added into OTHER storage. On iOS14 I had OTHER storage around 5GB, now on iOS15 I have 30GB other storage (because of CoD, PuBG data). I also tried a clean iOS installation and it didn't help. Can you please help me? Thanks

Do these two apps work just fine despite the storage classification of the app data?

If so, you did an iOS re-installation just because of a storage mis-classification?

I would understand if you just saw the 30 gb 'other' storage and didn't know what it's for.

But it sounds like you've nailed down exactly why 'other' is so high... so just report it to Apple and/or the app developers and wait for a fix? I have seen several threads regarding incorrect sum displayed of iPhone storage vs what the graph shows.. My own iPhone exhibits this issue. Probably related to your issue? There are clearly issues with storage calculations..

You didn't understand me. CoD data just moved from CoD storage, to other storage.

I saw many storage problems from people. But all of them was just full storage error and so on. I didnt see any problem same as mine. If someone had the same problem as me, I wouldn't write it here
