Why Discord Uses So Much Storage on iPhone 16 Plus
Discord typically uses 500MB-2GB of cache and data on your iPhone 16 Plus. Discord caches images and files from every channel you visit.
Unlike photos you take with your camera, app cache builds up invisibly. You may not realize Discord is consuming gigabytes of your iPhone 16 Plus storage until you check Settings.
What Discord Stores on Your iPhone 16 Plus
- Cached media — Images and videos you viewed are saved locally for faster loading
- Downloaded content — Offline content and saved posts take real storage space
- App data — Login info, preferences, and usage history
- Temporary files — Processing files that should be cleaned up but often are not
