hello, I am having an incredibly frustrating issue with my iPhone (Xs Max, 256, iOS 16.6). Last night, I tried to backup to my Mac, but the process reached 80% then failed. as it was late night, I figured I would back it up today. I had 7GB free storage out of 256gb last night. today I wake up to check my Phone and it says storage full, I try to open Whatsapp and it won't allow me telling me I need to free up some space.
The issue is, I deleted up to 10gb of data from my iPhone immediately yet the storage still says 255.8/256 used. My iPhone is also starting to enter into a Respring Loop whenever I use it and I Have no idea what is causing the storage to keep expanding even after all my deletions. I am still able to connect it to my computer, but I am worried imitating the back up process is what's causing the storage expansion bug so I'm scared to back it up, yet I Have no other way to salvage my data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I tried backing it up with Finder, it gives me an error "cannot backup because an error occurred". Im about to lose all my data and I have no means of backing please help me solve this issue!
