Just curious where your focus is in regards to iPhone Storage. Music and Photos typically consume most of my storage space. Though I’ve cut down my downloaded music library significantly in the past year (not because of streaming, just changes in situations when I access my larger music collection).

I’m sitting at just over 81GB used. I do not use much iCloud storage. I use manual backups for Photos and Videos.

Check it out. I have 6000 photos and 500 video on here also, but the 1.47 GB for photos shown here represent the thumbnails of all those photos, and my 200GB iCloud Storage carries the full resolution versions of all those photos/videos...ofcourse, I have access to them all right here on the phone, they just have to load.

And I know, my Messages consumes a huge amount. I have a cousin that I text every day including pictures/videos etc...and we don’t delete the thread hahaha.

This is my iPhone 6S Plus 64 GB. My XS Max 256 is on its way.

My phone is filled to the gills with hidden cache files, logs, recently deleted items and apps I never use.
