iPhone: Using Instruments to detect current memory usage?

I am using Instruments to track memory for my app. I see it gives me a count of the # of allocated pages. However, I hear this number almost always increases and isn't a true count of the current amount of memory used. Is there a true count of the amount of current memory my app is using in Instruments?

I'm using Xcode 4 and looking at Instruments for iOS memory

Solution

  • instruments -> allocations

    in the same row as * All Allocations *, look for the data under "live bytes"

    that's the current amount of memory used.
