Apple officially rolled out iOS 15 to all users worldwide on Monday evening. Now there are increasing reports that the "iPhone storage is almost full" warning is appearing more frequently. The funny thing is, users actually still have enough free storage available. So is it a bug?
iOS 15 has been available for download for all iPhone users for a good two days. However, feedback on the update is mixed. Surveys in our own community have shown that some complain about various problems, while the majority are satisfied - at least so far. However, there is one particularly annoying bug that is appearing more and more - the "iPhone storage is almost full" warning. In addition to various users on Twitter, Apfelpatienten have also already complained about it.
“iPhone storage is almost full” warning cannot be removed
The warning is displayed in the iOS settings and cannot be removed. The funny thing is that affected devices actually have enough free memory. This means that the warning message is an error that currently only occurs under iOS 15. In addition to countless Twitter messages, complaints are also increasing in Apple's own support forum. However, the warning isn't the only storage-related bug that's irking some users. Other reports on Twitter indicate that iOS 15 has introduced a bug where the available storage on a device is sometimes shown higher than the device's actual storage capacity. In other cases, a bug in iOS 15 causes it to incorrectly display how much storage a user's content is taking up.
Update does not make every user happy
In all cases, Apple Support advises users to restart their devices. But this helps little or not at all. Some of the errors that users encountered occurred during the beta testing phase of iOS 15 in the summer. These should have been fixed a long time ago. Although Apple only released the first preview of iOS 15.1 yesterday, we currently assume that the company will provide a patch in the meantime. Since the number of complaints is quite high, the rollout of iOS 15.0.1 should only be a matter of time. (Photo by olly2 / Bigstockphoto)
