What is the darker grey (titled “Other”) on the storage bar on my iPhone 8 Plus?

I’m running a little low on storage on my iPhone 8 Plus and I went to check what was taking up space and there is a part of my storage bar that is a darker grey (titled “Other”) that is taking up space. What is it supposed to represen? I’d like to know so that if need be I can delete it. Thanks in advance!User uploaded file

Settings, Siri, cached files other types of stuff like that I believe. You can delete some stuff an get some space back. Best option I would just get more space. Depending on how you use your phone will depend on other things running. You can remove apps you don’t use anymore, or remove the memory they are keeping on your storage then reinstall. But some apps stick in other stuff files etc. so getting rid of them doesn’t always get all your space back but you’ll gain most of it. Hopefully that helps
