Hi there,


I'm assuming you're referring to the Statistics under the Cellular tab in Settings. No, resetting these statistics will not erase content from your iPhone. Your iPhone tracks statistics on how much cellular data you have used and how many minutes you have been on a phone call. That's what the data and numbers in the Cellular tab in Settings is all about. Pressing the Reset Statistics button just resets these numbers back to zero.


The idea behind this feature is to be able to more easily track your data usage without needing to visit the website of your cellular provider. You would presumably reset statistics every month (at the end of your cellular plan's billing period) so that the data is accurate and actually meaningful.


Cheers!
