Why TikTok Uses So Much Storage on iPhone 15 Pro Max
TikTok typically uses 2-5GB of cache and data on your iPhone 15 Pro Max. TikTok caches every video you watch — it adds up fast.
Unlike photos you take with your camera, app cache builds up invisibly. You may not realize TikTok is consuming gigabytes of your iPhone 15 Pro Max storage until you check Settings.
What TikTok Stores on Your iPhone 15 Pro Max
- 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
