iTunes backup and restore

[Bad piggies]

I’m thinking about reinstalling my phone, because the “other” memory is starting to take up a lot of space now. But if I take a backup with iTunes, reinstall it and then restore the backup, will that save all my app data then?

On apples support page (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204269) it says “App Store app data. (Minus the app itself, its tmp, and Caches folder.)”. Does it backup app data but not the app? Will the app data be there then when I install the app again then?

@amslimfordy So an iTunes backup will restore all app data if I understand it correctly?

It should, though nothing is perfect and I can’t guarantee any particular app. I’ve restored my iPad several times and have had no lasting consequences.

I’ve restored my iPhone and everything went fine! It even fixed all GC bugs!
