storage issues iphone 6

have you ever found out the issue because I deleted music and photos so my biggest app uses 1.1 gigs messages 984Mbs after that less and less Mbs which all added up is not 16 gigs smh I need help free space missing

for me, simply backing up and restoring to original specs then just readding the latest backup worked. You will never have 16 g of space available due to the ios software...

I am also having the same problem. I have never had whatsapp installed on my iPhone 6s. I have nothing left to delete. I currently have 0 music, 18 photos, I have 2 emails and 1 voice mail. In my texts messages it said I was using up 500mb which I found impossible but I've since deleted those too. I then also restored my phone and my storage went up by almost 300mb which I was grateful to have at that point ... buttttt, faster than it took me to do all this the 300mb of storage I gained was gone!!

I am so beyond frustrated and I absolutely don't want to get rid of my phone!! Apple please address this .... And fix it!!

It's ridiculous the amount of people having the same issue.. and still no fix?? My phone is practically useless and has been since shortly after I purchased it. Beyond frustrated at this point .. I'm fed up and have better things to do with my time.

I don't have 2 hours daily to spend going in circles with Apple support.

I encountered this is issue before and I can't believe up until now, this hasn't been fixed yet.

It's ridiculous to think that you spent thousands of money for a device that would waste most of your time re-downloading apps, musics, books and all sort of stuff you had downloaded because you don't have any choice but to restore your freaking phone to it's factory default. Only to find out that the issue still there and you have to do the same thing over again.

No, i don't have whatsapp on my phone. iTunes installed in my laptop is v 12.xx.x.x . it shows in that i have 3.x GB when I connect my phone to itunes. But it only shows I have 500MB in iOS.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!!!!!!!!!

It is frustrating!! The brilliance of apple died together with jobs.

This is my third time with this issue. What'sapp is not my problem.

My least painful choice is to restore from ITUNES BACK UP BECAUSE ICLOUD BACK UP DOESN'T BACK UP TEXTS. The restore may take a few hours and many of my device settings must be redone.

I will bet you android is the same frustration. This is the price I pay for not having to walk to the mailbox to deliver mail (i use email) and other conveniences of smartphone.

In any case very aggravating the third time with this problem but I'm getting used to it.

At least, I know the "solution" and don't have to call them and hear them say, "I know how frustrating this must be" and "I never heard of this issue with false memory usage" or let me talk to a higher level tech or engineer

I had this problem in March and fixed it by updated my Whatsapp. Now it has happened again in August. Anyone else have this issue???

I had the problem too, with my iPhone and iPad. What helped with me: turn iCloud Drive off for 20 minutes, then turn it back on. Available Storage went from 0 to 3,2 GB. Hope it helps with you too.

This question was posted Mar 11, 2015. And it's now August 25, 2016. Amazingly, Apple still don't have solution on this issue but a workaround to restore your freaking phone and reinstall all your freaking app back.

I have done this 2x already and the issue keeps on coming back and now I think I'm going to have to yet again waste my time doing the workaround!!!!!

APPLE!!!!! PLEASE FIX THE ISSUE!!!!!!!

I have this issue too and yesterday, 26 August 2016, was the first time it showed up. I just recently updated the iOS on my iPhone 6.

I placed as much as I could on iCloud and deleted all extra applications. I got a whopping 444 MB restored to my iPhone. Wow! I'm impressed.... 😠

I wonder if going back to a previous iOS would help. This glitch appeared after the iOS update back in March 2016 (February 2016) or was it 2015? It obviously hasn't been corrected with the current iOS either.

I have a similar problem with my iPad 2, but it's centered around Safari hogging the HDD.

II've restored my phone a few times, will show 3-4 gb free. Within a few hours I'm back to 400 me! When will Apple fix this!!!

I'm on the same boat with you!!! it's so frustrating!!!!!😠

it usually is some of the apps are storing to much content you can try and clean junk files and filters apps like whatsapp and infuse from large sized of files

if that doesn't work it means that there are damaged files that cannot be deleted unless you restore your device

I Spoke with Apple Support and have managed to get some memory back by deleting and reinstalling apps like Facebook, Google maps. Each time they're used they store caches which can take up memory. Hope that helps.

For me by downloading the biggest game it frees up some if the lost storage
