Not updating past 14.8 no scanning my iPhone. I bought it it’s mine and you can’t peek under my shorts! Anyone know how to turn the notifications off for the updates? Can’t believe Apple is holding my watch hostage as I can’t update it without updating my iPhone. Absolutely time to change management at Apple. They just can’t be trusted any longer!
Got a tip for us?

Some Users Plagued by Incorrect 'iPhone Storage Almost Full' Alert After Updating to iOS 15

This was all widely reported in beta. How it wasn’t fixed before the final release is beyond me…
I have a similar bug, except instead of incorrectly saying the phone is full, it says it’s empty. My iPhone Storage pages says “0KB out of 256GB” are being used, which is obviously incorrect.
With this being in the betas for so long and reported to Apple it’s just a bit embarrassing it wasn’t fixed and makes you wonder are they only focusing on what they deem to be blockers and criticals reported by beta testers.
This feels more like a major but a major that should’ve been fixed. It was bothering me trying to pick a storage capacity for the iPhone 13 which I’m sure will draw other people’s attention to it who aren’t getting the storage full notification but trying to pick a capacity.

Wife lost three gigs after update. She had a little over 10 gigs free before update and now she’s close to 7 gigs free. Also it didn’t want to update because it complained about not enough space.
Your running it wrong? I've been running the betas and haven't seen this error (or maybe haven't noticed). The other devices upgraded to ios 15 haven't seen this error either.
I have this issue also. Can't believe they released it without fixing it if it was happening in the beta testing phase. I also downloaded Safari 15 and now I can't log in to Twitter on my iMac - it's simply not loading the log in portion of the page...weird.
Totally agree! This one drives me crazy. Any articles trying to explain it or how to fix it are merely suggestions. I haven't found anything that really resolves it for me, short of resetting the device. This is the kind of issue that needs to be addressed.
Last year, after almost immediately upgrading to iOS 14 on day 1, I was affected by the Health App storage bug, where in iPhone Storage, the Health App reported over 2TB of storage. It was unknown to me until I went to do an encrypted backup in macOS, where the computer reported insufficient local storage to backup the device. There was no issue to the operation of the iPhone, just that I couldn't perform the encrypted backup. Interesting to see a potentially similar issue with the infancy of iOS 15.
I have had a weirdly-similar sounding bug on my series 2 Watch (that isn’t getting updates anymore, thanks Apple!) where about once a month it gives me a similar message that storage is almost full. I restart (power off/on) my Watch and it goes away again for a few weeks.
Haven’t updated to iOS15 yet on my iOS devices because there’s no real reason to for me yet. I’m sure they’ll fix this soon though.

Oh come on, Apple wouldn’t do something to make your old device slower or obsolete.
See my comment above. This was directly related to the Health App storage bug, where new data could not be saved into the Health App because your Health App reported multiple TB or PB!
