8.1 free up about 4gb of space

[Arcade]

Hello,

When I was using 8.0.2 something that I hated was that it was using too much space even though I didn't have a lot of pictures or music 7.8gb now after I upgraded to 8.1 I got all that space back now I am using 3.3gb of space.

I'm already loving 8.1

I actually got about 2.something. Nice catch.

I went from 3.2gb available to 7.6 on my 16gb iPhone 6 plus

Probably the update installed and freed itself from your phone.

No, The space available was from last night

Also got 3 gb free space.

Mine was 4.8 before and 5.4 after.

I thought i got a bunch of space back too and then i saw that most of my music was waiting for download/install.

Did you guys upgrade OTA or through iTunes?

I suddenly regained about 1GB of space the day before iOS 8.1 became available. I got the message that my phone was almost full and that I needed to remove some stuff, and then my free space available suddenly went up to about 980MB. That's weird.

I think Apple built in some mechanism that clears out the "Other" space.

I did the update through iTunes, and the OTA had not come through to my phone yet.

I had 3.85 GB free on my 16 GB iPhone 5 prior to updating from 8.0.2 and had 5.02 GB free after updating to 8.1.

I was pleasantly surprised

 

[deuxani]

Wow... I don't what it deleted, but after the OTA update to 8.1 my free space went from 2.2GB to 5.5GB I'm very happy with that, because it didn't make any sense why my iPhone was so full after just 1 month.

Didn't get any free space back, but last week, I restored my iPhone from iTunes and got about 4-5gb of space back. So I guess there wasn't any more space from "others" to reclaim back.

 

[ihonda]

wow between turning on optimized photos for iPhone and the update i got back over 7gb.

 

[richwoodrocket]

I'm loving 8.1. Got 3.6 GB back.

I have 7GB available. Not bad. I use OneDrive for my photos and don't have much music on my 16GB iPhone 6.

I also use OneDrive (with free 30 GB online storage) for photos and Camera Roll backup . 8.1 did not seem to free up any significant space for me, but I still have 8.0 GB left on my 16 GB 5s.

^ Yup I have 30GB too. Much better than what Dropbox offered! #
