I installed iOS 7 the day it came out and until now have had no major problems. The last few days my phone just randomly tells me I am out of storage space. It goes from 4Gb free to 0 in about 5-6 hours. Has anyone else seen this?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone out of storage

Its definitely phone storage as an alert came up on my phone saying I was out of storage and could not take a photo when I tried to.
I've noticed issues with storage running down as well. My guess is that iOS is using up some storage and it's not clear where it's coming from.
If I look at my usage in settings app and take the sum of all my apps it totals 8.32 GB. However, the reported usage is 12.9 GB. So essentially there is a 4.5 GB difference that I can only assume it is the OS itself. Does anyone know a way to confirm how much data iOS is consuming?

I have, in a developer beta. You know, the one you shouldn't be using unless you have an app to test functionality with.
Seems this has now affected me.
Had over 5GB free - down to 700MB now. Would love to get to the bottom of it.

It might be broken in the beta but it's supposed to delete iCloud music after playing.
On my iPhone, none of the iCloud music that I've listened to is actually on my phone -- it all still shows the download button.
Off topic, but looking at the screenshot above, I am happy that iOS 7 includes data usage of the message app. Good way to judge how attachments and dozens of conversations take up.
How are you supposed to test your apps when there's no space left for data?
Didn't think that one through did you
For me it's nothing to do with iCloud or iTunes Match or anything normally non-phone based, as I don't use any of those services.
Well on iOS 7 Beta 1 it went down as low as 500 and odd meg - which meant I couldn't install Beta 2 without deleting something.
Deleted a huge game and installed.
All of a sudden I have 3.6 GB spare. It's not the 5GB+ I had with iOS 6 (and the game installed) but it's an improvement.
Safari perhaps, creating a cache of loaded pages? You would have to visit a lot of pages though.
Is it iCloud syncing Gig's of photo's/videos?
Yes that was my thoughts too, so I deleted all of the history and web info (that's possible from the menus anyway) and it didn't seem to make much difference.
There's definitely a hole leaking somewhere,
