There is a reporting issue with iOS 15.0.1, which was not fixed in iOS 15.0.2. Just about every person I know who updated to 15.0.1 all of the sudden has more space on their phone as reported in Settings > General > iPhone Storage.


It doesn't mean you really have more space. It is simply a reporting error. My phone's memory increased by more than 20GB. But it's not real.
