A BUG with Apple's new iOS 15 software is said to be showing users a false "Storage is Almost Full" message. The same issue is said to be occurring with iPadOS 15 as confused users have taken to social media to complain. The false alert is said to appear in the Settings menu. One Apple user tweeted : "iPhone storage almost full - I got like 25 gigs left…" Another tweeted @AppleSupport and said : "I have lots of free space on my iPhone but newly installed #iOS15 keeps stating “Storage almost full” message and won’t open in settings or go away." Apple Support responded to that user by saying: "Thanks for reaching out! We’re here to help. "First, tap on the alert in Settings and see if it goes away. Next, you are going to want to restart the device. If you’re still having issues, send us a DM."

I am always very careful about how I use the term ‘addiction’. I’ve put it out there before that I’ve been ‘addicted’ to using my phone and have actually sought help to understand why. But rather than just harp on about the dangers of social media, I sat down with someone vastly more knowledgable to talk about the science of addiction itself. Dean Burnett possesses both a PhD in behavioural neuroscience and the ability to explain complicated things about the brain to regular folk like you and I. He has, quite literally, written the book (several, in fact) on this topic and is therefore perfectly poised to answer the question of whether we can be addicted to our phones.
