iphone storage - space taken up?

theonlywayisup

I can't help with your query on the missing GB's you seem to have, but have a go on this, it does give some interesting facts about photos.

GJ said the equivalent of ccleaner. There are umpteen apps with that functionality in the Play store so I'm guessing there will be in the Apple store too. Just search for a cleaner and read what they do.

cleaned 80 MB from phone!

Nowhere near your supposed missing GBs. I think you need to look for an app to analyse your storage usage next.

Your guess is wrong, or at least not quite right.

Anyone can upload apps to the Play Store as Google don't care.
Apple, however have strict guidelines and thus the quantity of apps is much less. Quality is significantly better though.

So there aren't as many "cleaner" apps in the store, if at all.
Plus, you can do most of the cleaning yourself without apps wanting your details or potentially sending things back to the developer...

When you plug your iPhone into the computer and launch iTunes how much space is taken up by "Other"?

Might be worth trying this: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2016/03/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone-ipad-ipod-touch.html ?

And are either of you using iCloud Photos at all?

The OP said he found one and used it to clean out some junk.

2.37 GB! I've followed a few links from Google (including yours) but cant seem to work out what this data is being used for. It's worth me clarifying that I've taken more photos and deleted others since the screenshot i posted...

I was - I've switched this off but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
