How to clear cache of your iPhone and iPad so that it goes faster

How to clear cache in iphone -  Clearing the iPhone and iPad cache can be a way to quickly improve performance. IPhones and iPads are designed from the ground up so that hardware and software come together in a virtually unique way that ensures a very smooth and stable experience most of the time, but that's not to say there are no problems every now and then.

What is the iPhone cache

The iPhone and iPad are small computers, so they also have cache memory. And although these processes are designed to improve performance, if a lot of information is stored we could achieve the opposite effect and see how our device slows down, especially if it has a few years and many apps installed.

How to clear cache of iPhone apps

Viewing the cache on the iPhone is impossible, each app stores its own data. Therefore, we must clear the cache of each app individually. Although it is true that after restarting the device some of these elements will be erased, others will remain on our iPhone or iPad.

How Clear Safari Cache on iPhone

Safari is one of the iPhone applications that can cache the most data, especially if we use the app often. When you clear the cache of Safari, data such as the history of visited webs and some other data stored by web pages is also erased.

• On your iPhone or iPad go to Settings> Safari.
• Scroll down to the very bottom and tap on Clear History and Website Data.
• Tap on Clear history and data.
  

With this simple touch you will clear the Safari cache, although if you want to keep the history and delete only the data, you can also do it. Within Settings> Safari, click on Advanced> Website data, you will see the stored data, and clicking on Delete all data will free up cache memory.

How Clear WhatsApp cache on iPhone

WhatsApp does not incorporate a setting to clear the cache easily, and in the iOS settings we do not have a specific function for it, so we can only do the following to clear the WhatsApp cache on the iPhone:

• Go to WhatsApp> Settings> Chats> Backup and verify that you have a copy.
• Now go into the Settings of your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap General> iPhone Storage.
• Wait for the list to load and tap on WhatsApp.
• The only way to delete the WhatsApp cache is by tapping on Delete app.
• Reinstall WhatsApp from the App Store again.
  

 

How Clear Instagram cache on iPhone

As with WhatsApp, Instagram does not have a setting to clear the cache on the iPhone, so we must follow the same steps as before.

• Enter the Settings of your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap General> iPhone Storage.
• When the list loads, tap on Instagram.
• Tap Delete app.
• Now reinstall Instagram from the App Store again.
  

How Clear the cache of any app on the iPhone

Clearing the app cache data depends on the app in question. So it is up to each developer to implement these types of adjustments. For example, professional apps like Microsoft Teams or Slack include specific settings to clear the cache on the iPhone and iPad. Follow these steps:

• Enter the Settings of your iPhone or iPad.
• Scroll to the bottom and locate the app you want to clear the cache for.
• You will see a setting that allows you to enable clearing of cached data.
• In case this option is not available, in Settings> General> iPhone Storage you will see the data stored by each app.
• Enter the app in question, and tap on Delete app.
• Re-install the app from the App Store.

How Restart your iPhone or iPad to clear the cache

Another way to free some data from the iPhone and iPad cache, without having to delete the applications, is by force restarting the device. Not all of the data will be removed, but a good deal of it will. Depending on your device, these are the steps to follow:

• Force restart an iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, and iPhone 12: Press the volume up button and quickly release it, press the volume down button and quickly release it, then press and hold the button side. When the Apple apple appears, release the button.
• Force restart an iPhone 8 and iPhone SE (2nd generation): Press the volume up button and release it quickly, press the volume down button and quickly release it, then press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
• Force restart an iPhone 7: Press and hold the volume down button and the power / sleep button at the same time until you see the Apple logo again.
• Force restart an iPhone 6s or iPhone SE (1st generation): Press and hold the power / sleep button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple apple again.
