over the last few weeks, i've been noticing my storage getting progressively fuller every time i've checked it, and it wasn't because i've been downloading new apps, it was because my system data (and much less but still my iOS storage) have been skyrocketing upwards and i was wondering if there was a reason for this ?? it's gotten to the point where more than half of my app inventory is now offloaded, and i have to offload an app if i want to take a few photos because my storage space is so tight!!

just now, i noticed that apple has now been offloading apps without telling me just so my system data can take up more space! i know this is true because i downloaded snapchat just an hour ago, used it properly, and went to check a notification only to find that it had been offloaded without any form of notification on that. when i tried to redownload it, my phone was telling me that i am unable to do so due to lack of storage.

i've been researching a little bit and i've tried the "time travel trick" twice and have fulled deleted/redownloaded high-cache apps like instagram. i told my brother, who knows a lot about tech, and he put it simply that i have "phone cancer", meaning that essentially my data will continue to rise and there's nothing to do about it, though i simply just can't believe that.

i have an iPhone 13 of which i've had for about 3 years. i haven't contacted apple about it yet because i just wanted to see if there was anything else i can do before i take that step. if anybody has any way to lower system data down, please let me know !! uncontrollable storage taking up more than half of my storage space is insane!!
