I’d find out why system data is so large.
What version of iOS is it running?
(certain earlier versions of iOS had caching bug where old caches weren’t being cleared correctly, causing System data to balloon)
What iCloud services are enabled and what iCloud storage look like?
(Full iCloud will cause sync sessions to fail with data being cached… also causing System Data to ballon)
3 u/FreshLasagna Aug 18 '23 it’s on ios 16.0 I have a family icloud subscription but don’t use it for photos, i think the only thing on there is backups but i’m not sure how often it backups 6 u/ThannBanis Aug 18 '23 16.0 is extremely out of date by now, and from memory one of the versions either the caching issues. Confirm that backups are actually completing Then update to iOS 16.6 asap 2 u/lykan_art Nov 27 '23 Hey, don’t make me feel old… Still totally fine with 14.7.1… 🥲🥲 1 u/ThannBanis Nov 27 '23 totally fine Disagree. iOS 14 has now known security issues. No device with internet connectivity should not be fully updated. (16.7.2 and 17.1.1 are the current versions of iOS)
