No matter how minimum my phone data is, i keep getting this iphone storage full message. I tried to clean up, restore and delete apps but its very frustrating to have this pop up constantly on my phone and it dont let me use the phone and no app works at that moment. I have never been this disappointed of using an iphone. Out of 64 Gb, my phone data is only 15Gb, still iphone storage full message every few hours.
I updated my iPad Air 2 to iPad OS 15 yesterday, and now I too see "iPad Storage Almost Full" but I have a TON of space left (26 GB to be clear). If I tap on the warning in Settings -> General it just blinks a few times and stays there. This is SUPER annoying. I hope Apple Support has a fix for this soon...
Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.
Clear the storages named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use.
"Agreed. But still, the issue at hand is that even after freeing up space and having 30GB+ of free space on the phone, you still get a message at the top of the settings page saying 'iPhone Storage Almost Full'."
Do your Part: Report this to Apple. Apple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed.

The whole point of clearing space is to clear space. Note that "Other" can take up lots of space. And when that is the case, GBs and GBs of data are being swollen up, all of which can presumably be cleared. This data is unnecessary items such as caches (which remember how applications were last used). When lots of space is used, system resources are swollen up. Therefore, making things slow, and quite possibly resulting in an overheating phone.
I had already tried resetting. Not just power off and on, but an actual reset (Volume Up, Down, and power button hold) and none of that has worked. I will have to try the factory reset, but will wait to see if the first update, which usually comes a week or two after the release, has a fix for it.
When installing a system update, the [compressed] update binaries must first be downloaded (consuming storage space), then decompressed and verified (consuming more storage space) - and finally installed. Once installed, the installation binaries are deleted.
do have over 20 GB free and sadly a factory reset/restore is really not an option as have many playlist and mp3 that not allowed to move from iPhone back to iMac (was able to do this under iTunes and gave over 10gb of music )
Every iPhone and iPad I updated to iOS 15 has the iPhone/iPad storage almost full message. Please fix this bug. I will NOT buy iCloud extra storage just to get rid of this message. I will replace every phone and and tablet with something android or windows based. This was a known bug before iOS 15 was released.
Anyone else also getting this alert? I don't understand why the solutions keep suggesting how to free up space. There's no issue with the space. My phone is a 64Gb one and currently at less than 32Gb and I still have that notification. It's not a pop up. It's in settings. It has a 1 in a circle and clicking on it doesn't do anything at all. At it stays there after restarting the phone. Any suggestions?
"Thanks! Bug submitted.: I had already tried resetting. Not just power off and on, but an actual reset (Volume Up, Down, and power button hold) and none of that has worked.

Having same issue here, have over 20 GB of free space but getting the alert that running out of space. Came up as soon as update it to 15. 25 years in your programmer tried all the steps before coming here and read suggestions and yes I did all those steps.
Well can Report I finally got time to manually move my playlist and mp3 (that only existed on iPhones) and moved off/backed up. Then backup the whole phone, reset and restore the phone. And this glitch went away. We loaded the playlist and MP3s and good to go.
My iPhone 6 cant backup to the computer with itunes. It keep said "itunes could not backup the iphone because an error occurred while reading from or writing to the iphone". How do I fix this? Thank you.
I had this issue and I found that the restore process took almost 11GB from my hard drive... (I guess this may change depending the size of your backup) leaving me out of space and giving me that error... I cleared some space before restoring my iphone and no errors came up... Hope this helps
Had the same problem and error message and it turned out as another poster said to be the hard drive space had run out. Itunes makes a copy of your backup, so you need TWICE the space of your backup file to be able to restore.
I had this happen to me and I discovered it was because of a lack of hard drive space on the drive where the backup files are located. For some reason, iTunes created 3 duplicates of a single device backup and it ate up my drive space.
Read/write usually happens when permissions don't align. Check your computer for backups of that phone that have different permissions (one would be encrypted, the other wouldn't be). You can find them in iTunes by going to (WINDOWS) Edit > Preferences > Devices (MAC) iTunes > Preferences > Devices and there will be a button to "Delete Backup".
Alternatively, you can locate the files that make up your backup by following Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support and moving the file with the huge random filename to another location on your computer or a USB. This means that you keep your information rather than deleting it, but does the same effect of clearing out iTunes backups folder.
I have tried all listed options here, and elsewhere, and cannot get rid of this most non-descriptive error : "iTunes could not backup the iPad because an error has occurred.", and hence can no longer use my Apple device for its intended purpose. It would make life so much easier if the error can break down further the reasons, so people can have some hope in being able to fix this problem, whatever it is.
I'm having issues with viewing a panorama on an iphone.. I receive an error and the page will not load. i only get the message: Er heeft zich herhaaldelijk een probleem voorgedaan op ' -68b7-40f1-94a6-ad9b3ad9f850'.
Which browser are you using (probably Safari?), and is your iPhone also up to date? Does it help if you use either Chrome or Firefox on your iPhone to load the panorama? Just for testing/troubleshooting purposes this would be good to know. Thank you in advance!
What iPhone are you using exactly, and can you also try to export the Web Standalone once more, making sure you're using Enscape 2.9? Also, are you perhaps connected to a different network compared to the PC / Android device?
samb , just had the chance to try it on an iPhone as well, also up to date now - with 2.9 we've increased the resolution of our panoramas when you set the quality to "High" in the Visual Settings. Those panoramas seem to not work on iPhones indeed, in the meantime you may want to set the quality to "Medium" instead. You shouldn't see too much of a difference, if at all, since it's viewed on a smaller screen!
So, thanks a lot, good catch! We're grateful for your speedy responses and all the feedback and cooperation. I will forward this to our dedicated web development department for further troubleshooting.
Once this has been resolved, or once I have any further news I'll get back to you. I hope that re-exporting some of your panoramas in the meantime won't be a problem if you want to view them on your iPhone.
samb , our developers are aware of this behavior - there is no solution to this yet besides rendering the panoramas in "Normal" which should be sufficient for most smartphones. There will be an update in the future to also allow the display for "High" quality panoramas, but just not yet.
Doing this I was able to update both an iPad Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro over the wire from iOS 15.3.1 to iOS 15.4, using iTunes 12.12.3.5 on Windows 10. I did not have to remove passcodes and no stored cards, etc. were lost.
Your mileage may vary, and normally recovery mode should be reserved as a last resort. For most people an over-the-air update is probably a better choice until they fix this bug, but I like installing the complete package instead of the deltas that are in the OTA packages, and I'm not afraid to experiment a bit.
