Great work on the app! I noticed a couple of days ago that the app was using a ton of storage. Deleted the app and reinstalled, less than a week later it’s back up to ~2GB. Haven’t seen anyone else mention it so I just wanted to point it out. Curious to see if everyone else is seeing large amounts of disk consumption.

I’m also seeing large documents and data space.

I have the space on my phone right now but it would be nice to have a clear cache button or something to get rid of some of that.

What iOS version are you running?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

iOS 17 developer beta 2.

I deleted Memmy and reinstalled it this afternoon and it’s already back to nearly half a GB.

I too am on iOS 17 beta 2. Looks like everyone else not having the issue is on iOS 16. So this is probably something that changed in iOS and out of scope now.

But it’s good to catch now and hopefully is seen and can be prepped for.

Interesting catch. Thanks for letting me know.

In the meantime, I've added a button to clear the cache in the next update.

Two pronged issue. Lemmy doesn’t downsize a lot of photos so they always get downloaded at full size. For now I’ll do memory caching for a lot of stuff instead of disk.

I’ll also add in a button to clear the cache.

Things you don’t use should get cleared out automatically, but I’ll make sure it doesn’t get that large.

I’ve been using memmy for a few weeks, mine is sitting at 78.2MB.

Same. Daily user since TestFlight went active and mine sits at 178mb. Looks like the op found it was the iOS beta, which makes sense. I’d bet debug logging is on and they’re getting a ton of logs.
