Storage categories not showing

I have issues with iPhone Storage settings page display “Calculating category sizes”. I have an iPhone 13 and when I go to check for storage, it is stuck on “calculating category sizes”.

The Software is up to date (iOS 15.2).

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you.

iPhone 13, iOS 15

Hey hs_diana,


It appears that you're having a problem check your iPhone Storage. It's stuck calculating your storage space, and we're glad to provide assistance.


Restart your iPhone - Apple Support -- If you haven't already, see if restarting your iPhone allows it to finish calculating.


Force restart iPhone - Apple Support -- If restarting your iPhone didn't fix it, try force-restarting and check.


Let us know how that goes.


All the best.
