Cache Data on iPhone 6 is Very High

[Serengeti95]

I stream music at 320kbps and the cache data goes up so fast.... 100mb can be done in a couple hours or so... does that sound even close to normal? If it is, is there any way to alleviate this problem other than deleting the app and reinstalling it? 

Also one other question, Is it possible to change your username? I just want to make the "s" in my name a capital... if it's not possible then oh well tho.

That seems normal to me. After a while the app will clear up storage space if necessary. But if you require the free space, you will have to reinstall the app. Vine, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube also store similar caches that can take up a lot of data.

Unfortunately there is no way to change your username. Spotify usernames have to be lowercase except for accounts that have been connected to Facebook, those accounts will display their full name instead of the username in the app.

Thanks for the reply man. I don't really have an issue with not having enough space atm as i have about 70gb free.... does this mean if i didn't delete the app and reinstall it it could potentially use about 50gb of space or will it eventually stop at a cap? How does resetting youtube's cache data work btw? Is there a limit for it?

I'm not sure about the YouTube app, but I'm pretty sure the Spotify app has a limit. It will not eat up 50GB, that's for sure.

Hm... i think i read on this forum when i was researching that it will stop eating up more data when there is 10% of the memory left.... that's why i thought it may just keep going

Anyone know if the leaving 10% thing is true... even on devices with a lot of memory like mine?
