Hi,
I got my brand new SE 2020 as an early Christmas gift, it's perfect, since my 8 was conking out on me. Anyway, I hadn't updated the 8 to iOs 15, but the SE 2020 came with 15 on it. I notice a weird storage bug in the files app. I have a 64 gb model, but when I go into the files app under on my iPhone on the SE 2020, it says I have 90 gb available. How is that possible? Neither this phone nor the iPhone 8 from which I restored the backup were more than 64 gb. Is this misreporting of size a bug with the files app in iOs 15?
Thanks

Nope, not iCloud
Hi,
Nope, it's not iCloud, because I'm going under the section where it says "on my iPhone". When I go under iCloud, it says "20 items, 195.4 gb available on iCloud". And when I go under the "on my iPhone" section, it says "5 items, 90.1 gb available". When I go under iPhone storage, it says it's a 64 gb device. It's super weird, but as long as it won't have any adverse impacts, I'd rather not fight with a restore.
Yep. This is a bug with 15…
Yep. This is a bug with 15. The 15.1 update fixed it for me. Just had to wait a bit for my phone to recalculate the available and used storage.
