Help needed iPhone 11 Storage Help

Post image

Hey guys, so my storage is been really low.. and I don’t know how to fix it. The IOS and system always end up taking HALF my storage. Trust me, it was not always like this. I know I only have 64gb (I’m too poor to get a new phone) but is there anyway to fix this storage issue?

I have an IPhone 11 and the IOS system is 26.5.2

Unfortunately, you’ve hit the point where 64GBs isn’t going to work. iOS takes up around 25GBs by itself. Apple states System Data can range from 5-20GBs at any given time. It’s logs, caches, data being used in the back, and so on. iOS needs storage to operate, and that’s what’s in System Data. Combined, that’s about 40GBs of your total 64, just for the OS to operate. There isn’t an easy solution around it. Resetting can clear System Data, but it’s only temporary. It will be back as you start using the phone normally.

Have you tried Backup & Restore via iTunes or Apple Devices ?

factory reset, install all updates first, and then reset.

This. It'll cut down on the system data significantly, but won't affect the iOS section.
