Model: IPhone 7
Total Storage: 32gb
My issue is that suddenly I started receiving the alert of my IPhone Storage is full (even though i had just checked it a day or two before and I had 16gb left of a 32gb IPhone 7).
I went ahead and deleted apps I wasn't using and cleared out my photos, went through the IPhone recommendations of deleting large attachments, I even bought a subscription for ICloud storage (I never had it before, but I figured if I got that then all the storage would sync to there). None of those things freed up any storage space on my IPhone.
I then noticed that each time I deleted an app or a bunch of attachments, that the App & Photo portions went down, expectedly, but when it did, the IPhone "Storage - Other" would get bigger. I can't even update the IPhones software or backup it up to icloud because there's no free space at all. I cleared all my website data & cache and that didn't do anything either. I cleared all of my call history, voicemails, all of my messages, nothing helped.
Here is how much space each category is taking up:
