42,016 Points10.9 MB is really nothing. displaying anything in your app is going to cause a jump in memory. once you start getting up there close to 100MB is when you are really using a lot of memory. Displaying a video, image view, anything really graphics intense is going to cause your app to use more memory. but 10.9MB is not really anything to be concerned with (unless it just keeps going and going, then you have a leak). Normally it will jump when you display a new view, then go back down with you dismiss it, then go back up when you do something else, then decrease a bit when that is dismissed etc.

4,174 Pointsbut why memory stripe rises by the time?
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsbecause doing things in your app takes memory. Displaying buttons, views, tables etc that all takes memory. If you have stuff on the screen memory is constantly being allocated and deallocated in order to present that stuff. Its not constant. It changes depending on whats going on in your app. Some apps may have tiny increases and use a relatively small amount of memory. Larger apps such as games may use a ton of memory.

4,174 Pointssounds nice. But I don't see the same on the video. That is why it's confusing
