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.
You should be able to export both contacts and texts if the backup app is given contacts permission and to be set as the text app temporarily.
Not sure about the text multimedia. If it’s in the system text database it can be exported, if the Messages app has it in its private data then tough luck.
Well you can probably still back it up to Google.
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.
