IOS is taking up the most storage space

Hi guys! I have the iphone 12 pro max and I keep getting a storage full notification. I asked my friend what her storage looked like since IOS seemed to be taking up so much of mine and hers looked nothing like mine does. She mentioned it may be data corruption? The dark mode screenshot is mine, light mode is hers. I’ve already enabled storage savers like clearing caches, unloading unused apps off, etc.. Is there a solution for this at home, or should I take my phone in?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello rct1738,


It appears that iOS is using an unusually large amount of storage on your iPhone. You've taken some great steps already. Next, to troubleshoot further, take the following steps:


  1. Temporarily turn off Low Power Mode: Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone or iPad
  2. Restart you iPhone.
  3. Check for any available updates: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Take care.
