The phone app (by Google) has 700 mb of data on the phone. What is that? Call history? Contacts? Then what is in the contacts app? Is it safe to delete?

    I don’t understand what data would be in the phone app. I use a separate voicemail app, there is a separate contacts app, and Messages should have all the text multimedia. The only data that should be in the app would be call history, which I don’t mind losing, but I don’t want to lose messeging media or contact info.

      There you have it, nice data points to know.

        So I ended up clearing the data. It was not the call history, contacts, or messaging media.

        Some of my very old messaging media was gone, but I think that that probably was already missing from the last time my phone died.
