Why iPhone 6s storage is being mostly taken up by iOS and other system data?

my iPhone 6s’s storage is being mostly taken up by IOS and other system data I know other system data is cooking but I don’t understand the iOS part that’s taking up 7 gb of my 15gb it’s causing problems because I don’t have space for barely anything along with the other 5gb being taken by other system data is there a fix to this problem?I tried factory resetting and backing it up but the problem just came back.

Actually, I just discovered Twitter was taking up 98% of my storage.

Apple Podcast was the next highest offender.

I deleted the Twitter App completely —

My storage freed up almost 100%!

Then I re-downloaded it & my storage is still wide open —

I went from FULL down to 27GB!!!!

Twitter was the offender for my storage problem

Hello,

Both numbers seem about normal. With only 16GB on you phone, your options are limited. Your short term option is to routinely monitor things that can be deleted:

How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

For the longer term, a phone will more storage would be helpful.

Good luck.
