I tracked my phone storage for 2 years most people are wrong about what actually fills it

I always thought apps/games take the most space… turns out I was completely wrong.

After tracking my usage:

• WhatsApp media alone → 25-40GB
• Photos/videos → biggest silent killer
• Apps → surprisingly controlled

Most surprising thing:

Auto-download + forwarded media fills storage without you noticing.

I also tested a few ways to control it without deleting important stuff.

Curious if others noticed the same or is it just me?
