iPhone storage

When I check my iPhone storage in 'Settings' it tells me I used 11.2 GB.  But adding up all items under 'manage storage' I only end up with 7.7 GB.  Does anyone know how to explain the difference?

Thank you.

In addition to the items displayed under settings, System iOS itself takes place. In addition, there are a couple of caches to IOS where some app data end, Documents and data and others. These can be seen with iTunes on the Summary tab, but not on the phone itself. They are part of the SGB 11.2 However and probably account for the difference see you (and iOS).

The following articles can help explain.

  • When I turn off the option "optimize the iphone storage" in iCloud photos, made my phone automatically re - download all my photos/videos in my phone again?

    I used the option "optimize the iphone storage" on my old phone to save space, but I hated waiting to load when I want to watch them. Now, I clicked on "Download and keep the originals", but I can't tell if my phone is re - download the original photos/videos to iCloud to my phone. What does automatically or are these pictures forever in the version "optimized" on my phone?

    Subsequently, it must download the originals. Synchronization is VERY slow, so it may take some time depending on how many photos you have.

  • My iPhone storage is full, would be - what the Photos are not sync?

    I have an iPhone 16 gb 5 s, I have a 200GB of storage iCloud (167 GB available). Local storage on my iPhone is full.

    I subscribed to the Apple's music and I created iCloud photo library, optimize the iPhone storage, to save space and it worked at first. Double the space occupied by the photos. Seeing that the pictures were taking such a much I lived my iPhone has removed some - no difference. I went my MacBook Air and deleted a thousand pictures and saw no difference on my phone and noticed at that time that my phone was not in harmony with my Mac.

    I need to disable iCloud library and then reactivate, he lose the photos I've taken since the last synchronization?

    When I take HDR photos I do not save the normal photo.

    If delete you things and it does not reflect in the phone's memory, it is too late to make changes to settings on the phone. What helps create a backup and restore from this backup. Then library in 90% of cases will be able to optimize itself and then you should be OK for a while.

  • Apple's music empties my iphone storage

    Hello world

    Apple's music empties my iphone storage, I'm no using out-of-line downloading and if I disable the icloud library all the song stored in my iphone went low, so this solves the problem for a while but I have icloud library in my device in order to use the apple music, then when on icloud and start listening to the apple music some of the songs not all, are stored on my iphone, which all use the storage of my iphone.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.

    Unless you specifically tell iTunes to store your music locally for offline use, you should not have storage issues. iTunes can be temporarily store music you played in its cache, so it will not re - download if you want to hear again, but it's not something you can manage. If another process on your phone actually needs that space, iTunes clears the cache data and free space.

    Unless you actually have a problem, just let it do its thing and stay away.

  • iPhone storage problems

    Hello, I have storage problems with my iPhone 6. I have the 16 GB model and it seems to be showing me that I used more storage than I actually have. Under the management of storage in the settings section it says I used 11.6 GB and have 83.1 MB of available space. However when I add up the use of the storage for each application he ads only up to about 2.5 GB. In addition, on iTunes on my MacBook, it shows that I have 6.65 GB free. I tired delete apps and optimize Photos stroage and elimination of most local music from the phone. It was me that more sotrage space however when I checked later return that he had exhausted more storage without having downloaded me all the apps, photos, or music.

    iTunes and iOS do not display the use of storage the same way. The best way to ensure that the iPhone is deleted unnecessary files, including video streaming, old app data, etc., is to perform a restore. Make sure that the backup you make in iTunes is encrypted, so all of your critical data is kept. Import all your photos, music, too.

  • iPhone storage mystery! (Lack of 42 GB of storage space!)

    OK the Forums of Discussion... it is a mystery.

    My father has been to complain his iPhone 64 GB 6 by saying that he did not have enough storage. I thought it would be a simple solution like the removal of unused applications, turning on iCloud photo library and the optimization of the photo, but what I discovered has totally confused me.

    My father's phone shows that it used 55.2 GB in settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage. Yet when I add everything in the storage management screen it is only 13.2 GB, a difference of 42 GB.

    I decided to do the same exercise with my phone. It is said that I used 28.1 GB and when I add the items in stock to manage, I get 23.2 GB which is a much more reasonable difference of only 4.9 GB.

    So where is the lack of 42 GB?

    Any help would be great. Thank you!

    When I go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud I see two options "managing storage. One is local storage 'my device' and the other is iCloud.

    Do you see the two options (1), (2) your device?
