@_munchkinn It's not lying, just hiding it π Settings > General > iPhone Storage shows the real hogs. Usual suspects: Messages attachments (Review Large Attachments), WhatsApp media (turn off Save to Photos), and Photos > Recently Deleted, which still counts until you empty it.
@janettalkss Not a trick, usually just a full phone meeting a big new iOS update. Settings > General > iPhone Storage shows what's biggest and suggests fixes. Emptying Photos > Recently Deleted and offloading unused apps usually buys plenty of room. No new phone needed.
@pdevl1n Pain. 4K60 eats roughly 400MB a minute. Settings > Camera > Formats > High Efficiency helps a lot, and Settings > Camera > Record Video lets you drop to 4K30 or 1080p60 when you don't need it. Emptying Photos > Recently Deleted after a shoot frees space right away too.
@movieboxd That 21GB is mostly working space the install needs. Quick wins: Settings > General > iPhone Storage, delete any old downloaded update, offload big apps, and empty Photos > Recently Deleted. Or update from a Mac or PC with a cable, which needs much less free space.
@tnertz A wipe and restore usually does shrink System Data, so worth trying. Before you do: Voice Memos can sync to iCloud (Settings > your name > iCloud), and Settings > Voice Memos > Clear Deleted clears out old ones. No App Store app can clear System Data, sadly.
@Jakeacus If photos are most of it, iCloud is the easier fit on iPhone: turn on Settings > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage and it frees phone space automatically. Google Photos works too, but you have to run its Free up space step yourself. Try Photos > Utilities > Duplicates first.
@justintaylor7 Brutal. iOS itself can't be shrunk, but System Data often can: restart, clear Safari history and website data, and offload then reinstall heavy social or streaming apps. No App Store app can clear it. Settings > General > iPhone Storage also lists quick wins.
@jesu__tofunmii Easy way to think of it: iPhone storage is the space on the phone itself, and iCloud is online space for backups and synced photos. More iCloud doesn't free phone space unless you turn on Settings > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage, which keeps the full photos in iCloud.
@4theloveofkasai Settings > General > iPhone Storage shows exactly what's eating it. Usual culprits: Messages attachments (tap Review Large Attachments), Photos > Recently Deleted (keeps 30 days), and WhatsApp saving every video to Photos (turn off Save to Photos in WhatsApp).
@YuriyATL iCloud+ is cloud space, not phone space, so the iPhone still fills up unless you turn on Settings > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage. That keeps small copies on the phone and full ones in iCloud. Settings > General > iPhone Storage shows what else is big.
@VerdeSelvans Yeah, System Data creeping up is mostly caches and temp files from streaming, social apps and Safari, and no App Store app can clear it. Restart, clear Safari history and website data, then offload and reinstall your biggest apps. Still near 50GB? Back up and restore.
@lewdoldman Slappy deserves the space honestly. If you need room anyway: Photos > Utilities > Duplicates catches repeat saves, then empty Recently Deleted since it keeps everything for 30 days. If you use iCloud, Settings > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage frees a lot too.
@ToastyBoyo Same pain. Quick wins: Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Messages > Review Large Attachments, empty Photos > Recently Deleted, and run Photos > Utilities > Duplicates. Turning on Offload Unused Apps in that same storage screen helps too.
@Edubbs2008@notjeyzzl Ugh, iOS plus System Data hogging everything. System Data is caches and temp files iOS manages, and no App Store app can clear it. What helps: restart, clear Safari history and website data, offload then reinstall big apps. If it stays huge, back up and restore.
@haleemed Deleted videos sit in Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted for 30 days and still take up space. Empty it, restart, and the number should drop. Settings > Camera > Formats > High Efficiency also makes new videos much smaller, before you splurge on 512GB.
@A_J_C2023@AppleSupport System Data is caches and temp files iOS manages itself, and no App Store app can clear it. What usually shrinks it: restart, clear Safari history and website data, and offload then reinstall heavy apps like social or streaming. If it keeps growing, back up and restore.
@combattboots Ugh, the worst. If you've deleted a lot, check Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted. It holds everything for 30 days and still counts. Then Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Messages > Review Large Attachments. Old chat videos are often the hidden culprit.
Scan your whole iPhone for free and see every duplicate group before you delete anything.
Want full cleanup, unlimited compression and contact merge? Lifetime Access is a $9.99 one-time purchase.

@workof_Godd Felt this. Quick wins: empty Photos > Recently Deleted, run Photos > Utilities > Duplicates, and turn on Offload Unused Apps in Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Turning off WhatsApp's Save to Photos stops it filling up again.
