Question about storage (self.summit)
submitted 1 week ago by Fake4000 to c/summit

I have tried using summit and noticed that the amount of data the app stores is high.

Currently, the app stores around 1.5 GB of data and cache on the phone.

Comparing to an app like voyager, voyager hardly crosses the 100 MB.

I have two questions:

  1. Is there a reason why summit stores such amount of data and can it be controlled within the app?
  2. Will the data stored by summit keep creeping up or does it reach a certain level and stop from increasing?

Thanks

Hi @[email protected]

It has happened again. Here is the two screenshots I have of how summit consumed almost 2.8 GB of space.

I have checked the cache in settings and it looks like this. Unsure if it's correct.

That's odd. Do you watch a lot of videos? Also cached images should be cleared after 24h.
