My iPad Air with 32 GB capacity components include Photos, Apps, Books, Documents & Data, Others and Free. What are included in Others? Can Others be adjusted to free up more capacity? Thanks in advance.
 
Back up your iPad in iTunes and you should see a decrease in "Other".
The "Other" data is an aggregation of things that don't fit in other categories. Such as:

  • Mail attachments
  • Messages + data
  • Documents
  • App data
  • Website data
  • Browsing history
  • Voice Memos
You might want to check out the size of each app in Settings and see the size of its data and either delete that data, or delete the app.
