User level: Level 1 (4 points)My iPhone 16’s storage is mostly used by system data. I bought it less than a year ago its a 128 gb phone and 37 gb are occupied by system data and other 34 by ios so i barely have any space left for my things.

It's quite possibly corruption in your device's cache. The sure fire way to resolve the issue is to plug your iPhone into a computer and backup the data. Then fully erase your iPhone and lastly restore your data from the backup on the computer. In my experience, other solutions offered on Youtube, Reddit etc. are only temporary, but your mileage may vary.
