What is taking up all the memory on my iPhone 6?

So I went to storage and added all the app usage (photos included) which adds up to about 4.8 GB. I have the 16 GB which I know is only about 11.7 GB because of the iOS which takes up room. But this would mean that I should have about 7GB of free space. However, it says USED: 9.4GB and Free: 2.3 GB. What the hell is taking up 9.4GB when everything adds up to 4.8?

Well, there's ' other storage' taking your iPhone space, too.
That can include:
Documents & Data
Safari browsing data
Mail data
iTunes data, including files that have been streamed (which can be BIG).

Here's what you want to do:
1.Back up your iPhone or iPad to iTunes on the Mac or Windows.
2.Restore your iPhone or iPad with iTunes.
3.Restore from the iTunes backup you made in Step 1.

Besides, you can use iMyfone Sapce Saver for iOS to free up your iPhone storage space. It can release more space by junk file clean-up and photo compression. It always can save much space.

That can include: Documents & Data, Mail data, iTunes data. To solve this, Restore your iPhone or iPad with iTunes. Do install Leo Privacy Guard to you iPhone. It will make your Phone totally secure by hiding your personal images and videos and also by locking various applications.

  • Will I use up all the iPhone 5 memory? Ok so I'm thinking about getting the iPhone 5. I have a 32gb iPod. I'm wondering if the iphone 5 16gb will hold like 2, 000 songs, like 200 pictures, and like 40-50 apps. How much can the 16gb iPhone 5 hold? If this phone doesn't have enough space for me, I'll probably get the Samsung Galaxy S3.

  • Why is my music taking up so much memory? I have a 32GB iPhone 4S and I have about 550 songs. Those songs amount to 10GB. My dad has the same phone with te same amount of songs but only takes up 5GB. The lengths of the songs are roughly the same. Why is it that my music takes up more memory?
  • Why is my iPhone taking up so much memory? I have an iPhone 16 gb with no music, and almost no apps (instagram and twitter, and I doubt that those are taking up all my memory). I don't have much photos and videos and I'm down to 1.1 gb.
