Why is my iPad doing this all of the sudden? (I’ve had it for 3 years by the way)

Hi MysteriousPersonnn,

Apple products will start using more system storage as they get older. Hopefully Apple will change this (HINT HINT) For now, if you really need some extra storage, restart your device. Regular restarts seems to lower the storage that the system is taking.

Thank you, and if there’s anything else you need, just start a new conversation!
