iOS displays more storage consumed

Hi Apple team,

My iOS storage is displaying incorrect value. PFA the screenshot. The red colour that refers to apps is close to 15.5gb which displays correct value out of 128gb but for iOS storage it’s value is 9.3gb and it’s grey colour band is more than red colour band. How is it possible. It’s wrong. What can I do to free up this grey colour iOS storage?


iPhone 12, iOS 15

After iOS 15.6 iPhone XS Max has bugs galore: Home Automation quit working on several devices for no apparent reason; iPhone storage usage reports are wrong; apps randomly starting and stopping; airplay stuck on a bluetooth speaker even after clearing check box. Reset iPhone and restore latest iCloud backup did not solve and made matters worse. Now reminders showing 5.14GB storage used on iPhone with all original reminders deleted. This does not make any sense.
