How to clear app cache on Android devices?
When you use apps on your Android phone, they store various bit data in something called “cache” to keep it running smoothly. The problem is that sometimes the information stored in the cache can have the opposite effect and prevent the application from running smoothly or not running at all.
In addition, over time, the cache may become swollen, which may start to affect the performance of the device. Before you begin clearing out cache files, it’s probably worth restarting your phone to see if the problem is wider than just a few apps that are filling up.
How to clear app cache on Android devices
Android does a good job of managing memory and short-term storage these days, so you won’t find a general option to clear the cache entirely. Instead, you’ll have to visit each app individually.
- To do this, open Settings > Apps & notifications then
- Tap the app you want to address.
- On the App info page, tap the Storage option, then on the next page select Clear Cache.
