What is "Other" in iTunes. Can anyone help me with it? Because last night it was taking up 1.37 GBs but this morning I woke up and all of a sudden it's taking up 4.40 GBs! I even used this app called "Phone Clean" on my computer to delete messages, phone calls, etc. And I only have 10 apps, no videos, no notes, and I don't use email, iCloud or anything. Please help.
Got a tip for us?

It's usually cache, mail attachments, messages etc.

iOS 8 but I don't want to upgrade.
I use phone clean, and I clear all of my caches, and I don't use email.

Lol, I don't play games, I delete my call history, I don't use reading list, and I don't use voice memos, lol.
The increased other is likely from the update you are not doing. If an update is showing in your settings it takes up a lot of *other* space. If you do the update it will go down to what you had.
hard reset? it doesn't as far as i know. the other data is embedded into the os. resetting does nothing to it
