How To Clear The Cache On Your IPhone And Instantly Boost Its Performance

How to clear the cache on your iPhone and instantly boost its performance

Are you having issues with the speed of your iPhone? Is it sluggishly switching between apps and having difficulty opening browser tabs? This could be a sign that it's time to clear the cache on your phone. Do not be concerned! It's a simple trick that takes only a few minutes and will keep you from having to upgrade your iPhone (unless you're ecstatic about the upcoming iPhone 13). Additionally, you can manage your iPhone's storage to assist it in regaining its speed.

Typically, when you visit a website, your phone downloads data such as photos, banners, and other content. To aid in the speeding up of that process, the majority of internet browsers will store some of that data in a cache for later retrieval. Consider storing a 24-pack of beverages in your refrigerator to avoid having to make a trip to the grocery store every time you want a drink. It's convenient in small doses.

Things become less convenient when your browser's cache expires and the data retrieved no longer corresponds to the data actually used on the website. As a result? Slower page load times and inconsistent website formatting. That is why clearing your cache may be beneficial: It restarts websites in your browser and frees up some storage space on your computer.

Keep in mind that clearing your cache will log you out of any websites you are currently logged into. Nonetheless, it's generally worth the occasional minor inconvenience to keep things moving quickly.

Here are step-by-step instructions for clearing your iPhone's cache based on the browser you're using.

How to clear your iPhone cache in Firefox

How to clear your iPhone cache in Safari

Safari is the default browser on iPhones, and clearing the cache is a simple process. Take note that beginning with iOS 11, this procedure will affect all devices associated with your iCloud account.
