Hey everyone
I have just done the update to iOS 15.4 on my iPhone XR.
Seems the same problem I had with an update late last year with my storage being falsely stating its full and appears under iPhone storage as "system data".
Anyone else had this issue? It also wont let me sync, even tho have tried reducing what its trying to sync and backup as 'not enough space'
Thanks heaps in advance.
iPhone XR
Other System data is data produced by apps that is not categorised as music, photos etc, very often caches such as in browsers but can be anything.
This below process will remove it but keeping it away means remove apps one by one til you find the culprit.
eg auto downloads in subscribed podcasts etc
(1) How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
(2) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
(3) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Don't miss out (2)
I'm facing the same issue on my iPhone XR - reset helped for a few weeks, but now back to 35GB of system data!
Really hoping that the next iOS update will fix this!
System Data 68.15 Gb- not a heavy user- no gaming. Apps are small part of storage
I've had no problems, and all my phones are 15.4.1
As for moving to android, you are threatening nobody on here, we fellow users really don't care.
iPhone storage full bug - again - anyone else? iOS 15.4
