Why iPhone 6s storage is being mostly taken up by iOS and other system data?

my iPhone 6s’s storage is being mostly taken up by IOS and other system data I know other system data is cooking but I don’t understand the iOS part that’s taking up 7 gb of my 15gb it’s causing problems because I don’t have space for barely anything along with the other 5gb being taken by other system data is there a fix to this problem?I tried factory resetting and backing it up but the problem just came back.

For the longer term, a phone will more storage would be helpful.

Good luck.
