Mobile App: iPhone storage reporting

What does “Storage” entity represent in the Mobile App integration?

My iPhone 15 Pro’s storage shows the following, which I would read as about 36% free.

In Home Assistant the device shows 2.69%. I’m curious where that number comes from.

Turning on debug for Mobile App integration the data returned from the iPhone webhook shows this excerpt (my formatting. Is that supposed to be json?)

{
    'attributes': {
        'Available': '6.45 GB',
        'Available (Important)': '92.42 GB',
        'Available (Opportunistic)': '6.88 GB',
        'Total': '254.79 GB'
    },
    'icon': 'mdi:database',
    'state': '2.70',
    'type': 'sensor',
    'unique_id': 'storage'
}

Home Assistant shows a closer number for my wife’s iPhone 16 Pro. It shows what seems like a more correct number:

and on her phone…

I just noticed that, unlike my wife’s phone, when I turn on “Do not disturb” it triggers a webhook call, but still reports focus is off.

{'icon': 'mdi:moon-waning-crescent', 'state': False, 'type': 'binary_sensor', 'unique_id': 'focus'}

I’m running 2025.1.

tagging in to say I also would love to know what this is reporting? this is what im seeing in my world with two phones

Phone Free Reported by Phone Available in Home Assistant
phone 1 42 of 128 free (32%) 2.93% available
phone 2 68 of 128 free (53%) 6.29% available

Do you know, how to activate this report, to see it in home assistant. With my old IPhone it worked without problems, with my new one I can’t see this entity and attributes in Home Assistant. Battery etc. works without problems.

It looks like this:

appologies, im not sure honestly. I consistently run into the issue where my partner and I sign into the app with identical configurations and access levels and my phone always seems to report more info than theirs.

Thought it might be somethig to do with the person/account setup in Home Assistant itself so created new fresh users with identical configurations and tried those for a few weeks with the same results

wish i could be more helpful

I have the same problem % available Storage“ in Home assistant is completely wrong. Do you have an idea now, for what it is?
