How to Clear Cache on iPhone, and Why You Should!

How to Clear Cache on iPhone, and Why You Should! - If you're running out of storage space on your iPhone, you may encounter issues such as not being able to download apps or iOS performance degradation. If this happens, clearing the cache may be an option.

What is Cache?

Cache is the temporary storage of some data, such as the part of a website from the last time you visited, for example. Browser cache is content from a website that is stored on your iPhone to help the browser run faster the next time you open the same page.

So for example, if you open the apple.com website, the browser will automatically save the cache of the Apple website and when you want to visit the Apple website again, it will open the website faster.

However, cached data can slow down the overall performance of the iPhone because it takes up storage space, so you should clean it regularly.

So the alternative options that you can try if you find that the size of the application has increased, is to delete and then reinstall it, offload the application, or delete the cache from within the application directly.
