How to clear cache on iPhone?
Clearing the cache on an iPhone can help free up storage space and improve device performance. To clear the cache on your iPhone, you can use the Settings app to delete app-specific caches or a third-party app like Cleaner Pro to clear all cached data from your device.
Here are the steps:
1. Open Settings on your iPhone and tap General.
2. Scroll down and tap iPhone Storage.
3. Locate the app for which you want to clear its cache and select it from the list of apps in Storage menu.
4. Tap “Offload App” (if available) to free up some storage space without deleting any of your data or documents related to that particular app. This will clear its cache as well as freeing up storage space on your device; however, you may need to log back into that particular app after offloading it as all stored information will be deleted from it once offloaded.
5. If offloading isn’t available, then simply swipe left on that particular app in order to reveal a ‘Delete App’ button which you should tap in order to completely remove it from your device along with its cached data.
6. To completely delete all cached files from your device, download and install a third-party cleaning tool such as Cleaner Pro (available through the App Store). After installation, launch Cleaner Pro and allow it access permissions required by tapping ‘Allow’ every time prompted during initial setup.
7. Select ‘Cached Data’ option when using Cleaner Pro which will display a list of apps installed on your device with their respective cached file sizes allowing you easily clean them out quickly.
