It sounds like you have an increasing amount of "Other" storage on your iPhone.
Normally, this category would contain data such as "Settings, Siri voices, and other system data" according to this support article:
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Since you have an unexpected amount of data categorized as Other, I'd recommend backing up your iPhone, restoring it to factory settings, and then restoring from the backup.
You can find detailed steps for backing up and restoring your iPad here:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
This will erase the storage on the device, including any content or files that should not have been saved as "Other" data.
Best Regards,
Jeremy
