I'm guessing you have the M4 with only 8gb onboard storage?

Apparently the latest update takes up far more of the operating system than previously. I'm not sure there is any way round this and there was a recent thread with the same issue.

I don't know if it's an option on the phone but one way around it would be to use a large capacity sd card set as adoptable storage.

Can't set as adoptable on Xperia without ADB command and even then it fails often.
Clearing cache in storage settings should free up a fair chunk.

Wasn't sure if it was an option or not.
If it's only an 8gb it's gonna constantly struggle now.

Yup, 8gb shouldn't even be an option nowadays Imo, even on mid range some people still want apps and need storage
