Why Reddit Uses So Much Storage on iPhone 16
Reddit typically uses 500MB-2GB of cache and data on your iPhone 16. Reddit caches images and videos as you scroll your feed.
Unlike photos you take with your camera, app cache builds up invisibly. You may not realize Reddit is consuming gigabytes of your iPhone 16 storage until you check Settings.
What Reddit Stores on Your iPhone 16
- 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
