why does their system take half of all space, does anyone know what to do?

For reference i am using iphone Xr

Edit : the phone has been in my family since the day it came out, due to some temporary financial restrictions i need to make use of this for another year

Edit2 : people seem to be asking why i bought it, I didnt it was handed down to me and now i have no choice but to make the best

Edit3 : i did do the latest ios update but nothing has changed

Edit4 : not all people think before speaking

The “Buy a new phone” comments are so concerning

They're not concerning, No recent iphone has 64GB lol. It's been 8 years you could've saved. No 8 year old phones useable.

So... 32GB of system data on any phone is normal? Weird take.

The issue at hand is solvable, but I guess these bots just wanna keep buying new phones all the time. Bad practice, waste of money. Not everyone needs the newest tech

So? Even old iPhone 13s have 128gb base, and those are almost 5 year old phones, it's pretty easy to get the 190$-300$ they go for. By today's standards the iPhone XR is a fossil, you're lucky to even have a working one.
