Iphone cloud Storage

Hi All,

I am using Iphone XR and I have never faced this issue of managing space on my iphone. When i checked the storage consumption. It appears to be:

I see that most of my space is occupied by either icloud drive and whatsapp. In ever 2 hours I am getting a message from whatsapp that my space is full. I have be tired of deleting pictures from the app, which i just cant continue doing as that involves time. I wan to free up all my space that is consumed by icloud drive which i am currently unable to. Please help

Keeping in mind that the “other” storage category is mostly filled with cache and system files created by Safari, the Mail app, other apps and iOS itself, that space is automatically managed by iOS and you can’t interact with it.

That said, update your device to iOS 13.6.1 or later, as per this support article: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you already updated your device to iOS 13.6.1 or later to no avail, some benefits to reduce that space can be also obtained creating a full backup of your device, then restoring it to factory settings and, in the end, setting it up as new, as per these instructions: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

When done, restore data from your previously made backup, then restart your device and check your device storage again.

If the issue persists, contact Apple Support directly, using this link: Get Support

Regards

Giulio

This should help with the “Other.” https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211686

Can’t say about WhatsApp, I don’t use it, with no plans to.
