To clear cache on your iPhone, the process depends on what cache you want to clear: browser cache (like Safari or Chrome) or app cache. For Safari browser cache:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap Safari.
- Tap "Clear History and Website Data."
- Confirm by choosing a clear timeframe (like all history) and tap Clear History.
This clears browser cache, cookies, and browsing history, freeing up space and speeding things up, but it logs you out of websites. For Chrome browser cache:
- Open the Chrome app.
- Tap the menu (three dots), go to Settings > Privacy and security.
- Tap Clear Browsing Data.
- Select what to clear (cache, cookies, history) and confirm.
To clear cache from other apps (since iOS doesn’t have a universal cache clearing for apps):
- Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
- See apps that use the most storage; tap an app to see its Documents & Data.
- If cache is large and app doesn’t offer in-app cache clearing, delete the app and reinstall it to clear the cache. Make sure login info is backed up because deleting the app erases its data.
This method helps speed up your iPhone and free storage space by removing cached files from browsers and apps, but with some apps, clearing cache directly is not possible without reinstallation.
