Any one else have this issue with 13.6? All the sudden, I keep getting errors that my storage is full and I see that the ‘Other’ section is HUGE. I’ve never had problem with storage until this software update.

About cached files in "Other"
Finder and iTunes categorize cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos. Cached files are created when you stream or view content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your device so you can quickly access it again.
Your device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
If storage on your device differs from what you see in Finder or iTunes
Since Finder and iTunes categorize cached files as Other, reported usage for Music or Videos might differ. To view usage on your device, go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage.
If you want to delete the cached files from your device
Your device automatically deletes cached files and temporary files when it needs more space. You don't need to delete them yourself.
In short --> IGNORE, if you are not convinced, Restart the device. You will see that Others Storage will reduce but total storage will remain more or less the same.

I guess this doesn’t answer my question as to why the iOS 13.6 update caused the issue with increasing ‘Other’ storage space.
I have tried deleting some apps and the ‘Other’ storage goes up and the total storage stays the same.
yes i’m experiencing the same problem. deleted a ton of data off of my phone but the “other” storage is still massive. didn’t start having this problem until a few days ago.
I backed up my phone and reset to factory settings and that seemed to resolve the issue.
