iPhone System taking up storage space

It sounds like you restored the backup, rather than restoring the phone.

I don’t want to wipe my phone and lose what’s there... So I can live with annoying iCloud subscr

Its only a temp fix issue reappears after a few day

My IPhone 7 shows 18.8 GB used by systems while my IPhone 6 shows 5.35GB used by systems

Don’t you see the screenshot ? It’s taking up like half the space on the phone ! Mine is a 16GB iPhone 6.

Mine is 128gb out of 256gb!!

So what happened when you followed the suggestions posted several times in this thread?

I'll tell you what, nothing because is an IOS Apple bug. But you know what? You'll flag and censor this message as well, Apple company policy.

My iPad Pro has the same issue. 17gb out of 32gb in total is being used up by “system”.

Come on, Apple. You are turning into 90s Microsoft...

literally freed up 1 gig for me

So we are recommending users to reinstall their systems to claim back space... wow!

Bye bye Apple...

Not really helpful resetting your device. It will consume the space again. This is rubbish from apple side. All my devices have this problem. And I am talking about 40-80GB for system all the time.

Same, I do not have any apps, I only have like 1 and a half GB left
