Internet Tethering use storage on iphone ? > 1Go ??

Question

Internet Tethering use storage on iphone ? > 1Go ??

Firstaval sorry for my bad english but google translate help me 😉

I did a full reset of my phone cause my "system services" which was not far from 1.4 GB (visible under Settings => Cellular Network => then at the bottom "System Services"

Once done, I end up with a phone with a "clean" system and system services with just 500 kb.

This morning I used internet tethering for 6 hours and .... 277 MB of system services with 275 MB of shared connection.

There's not a problem there? How is it that the iphone stores this kind of useless data ?

i'm under ios 7.0.3 with iphone 5S

The opinions on this? Returns?

Thank you in advance for your answers, clarifications.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.3

Where are you seeing this, exactly? Why do you think it's storing data on the phone?

That has nothing to do with storage. That is cellular data usage. That's how much data was transferred over the cellular network.

I'm sorry but no.

When you go on Settings => Cellular =>"system service" you can select it and you go in other screen where you see data store in you phone... like this picture

And me i have a line with 'internet tethering : 275 mo'

That is cellular usage. In other words, how much data any particular app or service has transmitted/received over the cellular data networl. NOT storage space used.

If you want to see how much storage space any particular app (and it's associated data) is taking up on your phone, go to Settings>General>Usage.
