IOS system data

After my IOS 15.7 update. My storage was 69GB, then I noticed it jumped to 93GB. My system data is taking 49.59GB. Is there is resolution or what?

Getting "Other" to Be Rid Of:

Have no computer? Then ask a friend, coworker, or family member, if you may use their computer.


Reset to Factory Settings:

The other way to rid of this data than a computer, its to reset your iPhone to factory settings. Prform as instructed here, as if you were to sell it, including the iCloud sign out, and backup creation.. Then, add everything back: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

IMPORTANT: Be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update

i would contact Apple support before trying to back up and reinstall. There is an issue with the Apple servers and iOS 15.7 update. Have you recently signed into icloud.com on any of your devices since your updating to 15.7? If so definitely contact Apple support and let them know what’s going on.

in my case Apple servers dumped 9.7 tbs of data on my iPhone because I updated and then signed on to icloud.com. The iPhone storage window reads 9.7 tbs of music. Haha I wish my iPhone held that much data. Strange I know but true. :) now I have to wait for 72 hours for the servers to catch up and release the data. Meanwhile the phone must be connected to power and Wi-Fi without interruption. Fun stuff.
