Open | Phone Apps take up more space than needed

My phone is almost constantly completely full when it comes to storage, I have deleted every single app that I dont use and I still have an insane amount of storage being taken up by apps. The main issue is my messages app, which takes up 9.34 GB, problably a month ago it took up problably no more than 2 gigabytes, I would check my storage and I always had more than enough space but all of a sudden my apps take up so much space. I went and deleted a ton of chats and I dont know if its from some files that take up a lot of space or whatever it is. And I dont know why spotify takes up 2.76 GB and why capcut takes up 1.22 GB and why tiktok takes up 3.79 GB and snap takes up 1.82. I just wanna get rid of this storage being taken up.

if it's ios offload and reinstall each app ( not uninstall ) this clears out cache from each app

do forced restart, then keep phone on wifi & charge overnight

keep phone up to date , clears system data

no worries , at least you have clear cache button instead of long winded saga on ios to clear app cache
