iOS 17 Storage Space Bug / Issue

This feature/item was not there upon iOS 16.6 - but after the upgrade to iOS17 - phone storage data has been taken up due to SYNCED CONTENT.

There was no reason for it to take up nearly 20-30% of the storage away from the phone (when my device had about 30-40 gigs left I'm down to 4.23gbs). This has disallowed me to back up my device to my iMac due to now lack of storage space b/c of this issue.

This seems to be an un-tested feature/bug/issue. I'm sure many users would not be happy knowing that their device storage was depleted for some unwanted/untested feature.


Is anybody else noticing this issue as well (as among many reddit forums /alternative forums as well).

Who else has updated to 17.1.2 and still having issues or experiencing new issues? I may try to withhold.

I have iPhone 15 pro max last night my phone started to be come buggy would not turn off keep freezing this I kept getting notices that my memory was full. I have 512 memory capacity. So I had erase my stuff then restore from iCloud. It was really weird and my phone was getting hot from all that. Since I reset my phone seems to be ok now.

Hopefully the images attach correctly. You have to look closely b/c the storage amounts when I wake up each morning show the iOS taking up A LOT of space. It’s in gray so hard to see if you’re not looking for it. After a reboot, it drops back down to my normal usage.


Im conditioning myself to check as soon as I wake up so I can do the reboot. It takes several minutes for it to complete. Longer than usual TBH but it seems to make things work better throughout the day. Yesterday, it hit that falsely advertised limit and killed the work call I was on.


How do we ensure Apple knows? I’m assuming they aren’t reading all this.
