How to Clear Cache on iPhone, and Why You Must Do It!

If the storage space on your iPhone starts to run out, you will experience problems such as not being able to download applications or decreasing iOS performance. If this happens, deleting the cache could be an option.

What is Cache?

Cache is a temporary storage of some data, such as parts of a website from the last time you visited, for example. Browser cache is content from websites 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 a website apple.comthen the browser will automatically save a cache of the Apple website and when you want to visit the Apple website again, the process of opening the website will be faster.

However, cache data can slow down your iPhone's overall performance by taking up storage space, so you should clean it regularly.

How to Clear App Cache on iPhone?

With functions similar to those in browsers, applications on the iPhone also have a cache. Unfortunately, until now, iOS does not have a feature to clear the application cache. So 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.

Please note that deleting the cache of the application directly depends on whether the application has the option to clear the cache. Some applications have a feature to clear cache, such as Telegram or TikTok.

That's how to delete the cache on an iPhone, this is important because cache that is left for too long will take up a lot of storage space which will result in a decrease in iPhone performance. So make sure you check this regularly.
