“iPhone storage almost full” bug

Hello. Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix the annoying “iPhone storage is almost full” bug? I have an iPhone 8 Plus on the latest iOS 15.2. I have 16GB of free space. I’ve had this storage message ever since I upgraded to iOS 15. It continued with 15.1 and it’s still here with 15.2. When I click on the message, it brings up the screen with more details and where I can select to “optimize storage” or “not now” but then it kicks me back to the previous (main settings) screen right away before I can click on either option…it basically crashes over and over.

Very frustrating.

Apple, please fix this bug. It has been around far too long.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15

I also have this error and while Apple is not here to listen to your troubles, I did post about it here seeking an answer (which I did not get). Just updated to 15.2 and still keep getting the badge despite storage only being 1/2 full. I guess we will have to report it directly to Apple in order for them to fix it.

fore restarts don’t work, and apple techs can’t figure it out either. Been there , tried that.

What does it say after step 2 if you set it up as new without restoring backup?

Had to do a complete reset. Backed up the phone and erased everything. Seemed to have sorted it for now. I was close to buying a new phone. But fuck that….
