iOS 16 is less than 3 weeks away. The good news is that we haven’t seen the storage full issue play out during the iOS 16 beta stages.

This means that the bug might be cleared out once and for all by the upcoming iOS generation.

If you want to fix it right away you can opt to install the current iOS 16 Public Beta on your iPhone or just have a little more patience until the public release.
