What is "Other" in iPhone memory? Because i have like 3 GB in it and its killing all my storage?

Other memory refers to the data that has been downloaded for use in the app. E.g. Music downloader app is 20MB and you download a song in the app that is 3MB. So in this case the "Other" refers to your personal download. You can check each app size and the total size taken up due the app in settings. Sorry if I'm not clear enough.

You can check your usage at Settings>General>Usage>Facebook(only example)>Documents and Data(refers to Other)

My Facebook app size is 103MB and the Data stored in it is 49.6MB so Total size = 153MB

  • Should i leave my iphone to charge all night because its turning on at all? My iphone won't turn on and i know before it turned off with like 2% battery so should i leave it all night and maybe hopefully it will turn on? 15 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer.
  • Other taking up all the memory on my iPhone? The space labeled "other" is taking up All the memory on my iPhone. It's taking up about 5.2 gigs right now, which is far too much, considering I have hardly any photos, music or data. Also, I just reset my phone so I have no apps, and it is still taking up that much room. How can I go about deleting what is in the "other" category. Also: my iPhone is not jailbroken
  • My iphone won't let me update software because it doesn't have enough storage? Most of my stuff on my phone is music. I have the iphone 4 and it said I need 2.5 gb to update. If I delete some stuff on my phone and update it can I put it back on there without a problem?
  • My iPhone Ios 7 is killing me I had to update the ihpone so it would work. Everything seems fine at first until I wanted to buy a song from itunes. You see, I want to buy a song and for some reason when I press download it will not download, it will just suddenly stop and I have to try again. So I find the settings in itunes and app store to get music and apps to be turned on in automatic download… But it switches back to off right away. I'm going to kill this phone seriously! I don't know what to do.
