My iPhone does not have that much space left, so I went into storage and it seems this Other is taking up a lot of space and I’m wondering how I can minimise this. I know there is another question exactly like this, but from what I can tell it doesn’t seem relevant to iOS 11 (which is what I’m on).

Best Answer
Other is storage from apps and the operating system, including temporary files. If you have apps that store data on the phone you can delete the app and remove their data if you no longer need them.
Also you can back up your device, wipe it and restore using the last backup and that will often clear some of the files in Other.
