Ya im using whatsapp. There is quite alot of pics in my whatsapp but i doubt it will reach 20gb. If im not wrong, whatsapp pics also a few 100kb only right for one pic?

Yes, usually whatsapp pictures file size is quite small due to compression but still with a lot of photos it can easily rack up your storage. You may find the storage used by going into whatsapp -> settings -> Data & Storage usage -> storage usage
and see how much storage has Whatsapp used and deleting those unimportant medias within Whatsapp and see if "Others" storage is reducing or not.

However do take note that IOS system alone already occupied at least 4GB in others IIRC so it won't be possible for you to complete recover all 20GB in "Others" storage.
