"Other" Storage Poll

[vertsix]

Hi.

Recently I've noticed that the "Other" storage portion on my iPhone 6s has been increasing substantially with iOS 9.3 beta 6 and below.

I know what "Other" classifies as (such as caches) and I have done everything possible to clear as much cache as possible with Battery Doctor (which works) and by deleting apps that have lots of Documents and Data.

I have a total of 1.80 GB of "Other" on my device and I was wondering how much you guys have, so I can get a feeling of what's normal and so I can determine when to restore.

Thanks for any feedback!

201 mb cause i recently made a backup, restored device, then restored the backup while diagnosing a different issue. doing this also erases a huge chunk of "other" data. prior i had 1.9gb+.

been like this since i ever had an iphone, dont know why apple isnt addressing it, give a cache clearing option or a "disk cleanup" like something..something for it. even when all apps like twitter etc gain their caches back, its still no where near as big, so its something else using it..

I haven't looked at "other" since the iPhone 4 was the current phone. Never noticed any questionable storage loss on my 5 or 6 to warrant looking at "other" to investigate.

haiz !!! now if using the iPhone 16gb, I think it will not be enough for the needs of the individual user

"Other" is overwritten when it is needed...

Less than 1 Gb, which is completely understandable.

20.19 gb of other on a 128gb iPhone 6s - Its jailbroken so I assume some of it is the j/b maybe.

Yeah, it is.

Yeah, it is.

Not touch it - I love my j/b even if it is 9.02 - I still have another 37gb left to play with

24.7 GB on a non-jailbroken 128 GB iPhone 6S Plus.

Not necessarily, I had 5 GB of "other" on a 16 GB iPhone 5 and the phone was maxed-out not allowing even an OS update.

1.01gb on my iPhone 6S (non JB)

0 on my iPad Air 2 (non JB) which I find very strange.

Orange is audio, light purple is Photos, dark purple is iBooks, and dark green/teal is documents and data.

Took a look at my devices....
6S+ 64GB - used for work, music, and texting ... 4.6GB
iPad mini 4 64GB (LTE) - used for browsing, email, and games ... 1.9GB

Both on 9.2.1, stock.
