iOS 15.1 BIG issues

Hello, today i went into my settings -> general -> iphone storage and in 2 minutes and 54 seconds the software was not able to load the data which is straight up pathetic for a version released to the public. I only had 29GB occupied from 256GB on my 11 pro max.

Well, checking battery is much easier than trying to understand why the device wouldn't show your phone storage. Go to Settings>Battery and you can see what apps are using the most percentage of battery. Since you have restored a couple of times, the iPhone has to re-index each time you do that, and will temporarily use more data until it completes those tasks. It can generally take around 48 hours to complete those tasks and battery usage will settle down.


I don't know that an update would improve that storage issue, since one of the last updates was designed to fix that for some users.

There is no mention of an update. My device already has iOS 15.1 and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to show the apps and how much storage they take when going into settings -> general -> iPhone storage. After waiting more than 3 minutes for several times, in several days, restarting the phone, erasing it, still the same issue. This is pretty sad to be honest.
