Hi, can someone tell me what “Other” is under Messages - Documents & Data? It looks like Other is taking up the vast amount of space for messages, as compared to Photos, Videos, and Top Conversations. I’ve attached a photo with this “other” value I’m referring to. How can I free this up?

Hi sundevil86,
We'll be glad to help you out with this. "Other" is anything that isn't categorized into the other categories. For example, is someone sent you a PDF document or similar, it may show in the "Other" category.
With that said, if you're unable to tap on the "Other" area there and locate content, the only other way would be to manually look through each message thread and delete the content from there. More information on checking your storage can be found in How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
Cheers.
