How to reclaim excess space consumed by other storage on iphone
I'm using iphone 6s with 16GB memory. So I have subscribed for icloud storage assuming, I can move photos to cloud (which consumes most of the space) and I can use iphone storage for installing more apps. But to my bad, other storage has consumed all of my remaining storage. Among 16GB, system is consuming 11.96GB of space.
It's Apple brand, and expected such silly problems should never be present. I don't want solutions like following:
- Reset the phone. Thats too blunt approach. As other space gets filled within a month.
- Offload apps to cloud. Already done. Hardly using 5 apps paytm, uber, gmail, maps. Almost all other apps are offloaded.
- Increase your icloud storage. I dont' want to do that. I've already subscribed for 50GB. That should suffice for me.
There are thousands of such above suggestions. But didn't find explanation about why is this problem and how to solve this permanently.
When there are thousands of threads discussing the same, where apple support doesn't have any good solution mentioned on their website?
Does ios really requires this much of space? If not how can I reclaim the space consumed by other storage? Please suggest a permanent solution.
iPhone 6s, iOS 12
