hey folks, i need advise here

my iPhone (6 plus) keep on telling storage running out or storage full.. i have tried to delete many things, but then it tell storage full again.. when i connect to iTunes, i can see most of the storage space occupied by "Other"... but i can't see then in the phone.. i check apps data, the record only shows biggest apps with data is WhatsApp which is around 300+mb only.. now i'am really puzzled how to reclaim the storage..

any advise? thanks in advance

could it be the update? iOS 9 is around 1.2gb of you haven't updated it
your iPhone will automatically download it without your knowledge

Hi, Uninstall whatsApp and re-install it back. It just happen to me earlier, and resolved it through that method I mentioned. Hope its help

the IOS is up to date, have updated quite recently

did that, it does freed ~800mb though.. which is silly, in the storage record it shows only 300+mb..

but still around 60% of the storage occupied by "others", what the hell are that..

this is suxx..

How much space is "Other" using up?
I've not had this problem before, but a friend had it and it turned out that he had a very long history of messages (main iOS app for text, mms and iMessage) with lots of photos and voice recordings. After clearing his message history and restarting his phone, he got back more than 2GB of space. It seems your message history as well as a lot of "Documents & Data" files from messaging or social apps tend to get grouped into the "Other" category by iOS.

If that doesn't help, maybe try what's suggested on these sites;

One thing I've noticed is that people who often have issues of large "Other" storage tend to update, backup and restore via iTunes. I've seldom seen people who rely solely on iCloud backups and OTA updates have this problem. Weird.

too much space, based on the bar the "orange" color for "other" taken up most space, 60-70% of the space. i've deleted most app and library content, by right the phone is almost empty.. i've check the "Documents and Data" for each app, as i mentioned the biggest app that taken space was Whatsapp which is 300+mb only.. my message history is not that long, back dated since around 5-6months ago only.

i ended up factory reset the phone this morning. so frustrated! have to paid so much for a phone but still have to go all this hassle.. think this phone really not worth the price.

i gave up already bro, i just do factory reset.. the problem has been bugging me since last weekend if i'm not mistaken.. for so many days, it give me stress already.. can't open whatsapp, can't take picture, even yesterday FB won't load anymore.. want to backup whatsapp also it said cannot coz need at least 100mb free to generate backup

Hey bro.. I've actually follower ur method and deleted whatsapp n then reinstall.. Problem solved 😂😂..

uninstall all apps and reinstall again..

Glad to hear that bro

you can delete "Others". Follow the instructions

checked that previously, nothing seems to have big size

wish to see the video early.. but practically i've done most of that thing.. but the "other" is so big. i ended up factory reset

turn off iCloud - photo

yes I got this problem also but haven't found any solution thus far. as using 9.0.2 when I get that problem, now upraded to 9.2.1 still having the same problem..... so annoying..

I did a factory reset, it solves the problem for 1 day, after that I can see it eating up space again (slowly)..
