‘Other’ in system storage of iPhone ... something related to WhatsApp

The ‘Other’ section in my iPhone storage is going nuts - it’s jumping from 10 GB to 29 GB (until my storage is full) and back in no time. 


I’m really not sure what to do, tried clearing cache methods (Safari cache, deleting apps etc), I do suspect the WhatsApp application causing this somehow but I’m not sure about it. 

Once I delete the WhatsApp App, the storage under System Other back from over 100GB to 40GB.

Sorry for the typo...

The ‘Other’ section in my iPhone storage is going nuts - it’s jumping from 40 GB to over 100+ GB (until my storage is full) and back in no time.
