iPhone 6 plus iOS 10.0.2 My iPhone keeps eating up storage and the apps are not growing in size. As an example I freed up >650Mb and 28 minutes later it was down to 0kb and the iPhone told me to free up some more space. Even if I do this a couple of times it keeps eating the space I have freed up. Anyone else experiencing this behavior? Any ideas on how to fix it?

you can restart you iPhone. also you can try to remove some app you didn't use for a long time. or you can reset you phone!
iOS 10 requires 1.1 GB's of storage space ... make sure to restart your iPhone after deleting data in order to see exactly how much available storage space there is.
I am already running iOS 10. I am not trying to install it.
A restart only free up ~70Mb and guess what, that space is quickly consumed.
Aa I wrote I have already tried deleting old content and apps but it does not help.
I have the 6S+ and have the exact same issue. I can delete 3 or 4 apps and within minutes several hundred MB are consumed by the OS.
I have had this problem as well, but before the new update came. this happened a few months back.
try going to setting and looking at applications that seem unusually large or questionable.
setting > general > storage > manage storage
I noticed one app the was doing this. i was told to delete and reinstall, which actually helped. and it happened again a few weeks after, and i did the same thing to fix it... afterwards never happened again.
if it's not an app problem, it might be the photos or camera. the new setting of the photo is it captures before and after the photo itself, which I've noticed takes up a large amount of space, this can be disabled in photo settings.
try finding the cause of what is consuming the space, usually if you find out, there is something you'll be able to do. if not, try restoring to factory settings, after backing up of course, i know the feeling of losing all date, not pleasant.
then using first without your data, if nothing happens, then might not be the new update. if there is, better talk to apple support directly.
but if nothing happens, then you restore your data, and the problem persist, it might be an app that was updated to accommodate the new iOS. it might be eating date, with out reporting the use of this to setting. sometimes, its a third party problem. that was the case with me.
The solution for me was to completel reset the phone. I retored from my most recent iCloud backup and that recovered almost 5GB of flash storage. Time will tell if the OS or apps will continue to eat space as before...
iOS 10 eats up all storage on iPhone
