6 Plus, 16gb. I realize 16gb isn't a lot but my top two culprits are photos (579mb) and text (570mb), so what gives? I have iCloud setup to backup everything. Is there something I'm doing wrong, anything I can look into? Where's my storage going? I remember walking around with around 3gb free easily then poof, gone.
Got a tip for us?

Apps also take up space and the data they store as well.
Also, if you believe that just because your data is backed up to iCloud that somehow it magically does not exist and take up space on your iPhone any more you would be wrong in that belief.

I understand all that. But I remember when I've had photos and messages in the gigs and still had around a gig left over. Now when I open up the manage storage, everything seems pretty minimal in the list. It's just something weird I've noticed over the last few months
Hook up to iTunes to see what the 'other' space is registering as.

Some people are finding that music is using chunks of storage space and have turned that off to find their storage space increased.
