iMore

I've noticed since iOS 5 that the contents of my phone now include 6.5GB of "other". Is this somehow related to iCloud? I've heard from other people that they also have a ton of "other" content added.

Also, when I dig into the iCloud "manage" area on the iPhone, I noticed that all my apps are backed up to iCloud. How is this different than before iOS 5? Were apps being backed up to my computer then and now they're backed up to iCloud? And is it ok to not back up apps to iCloud?


Thanks in advance!
