Caching is the term for temporary data stored by applications and websites. With it, your phone will work more efficiently. If you visit a website with a large banner graphic, the browser will cache it, so you don’t need to download it again when you visit the page again. When you stream on Apple Music, it caches the tracks you play so that you can change the songs faster. We believe that the storage space used by the cache is valuable. But the more apps you use, the more space they need to store cache on your phone. As a result, your phone storage may be filled. Sometimes you need to clear the cache to speed up your iPhone and iPad. In this guide we have shown several ways to clear the cache on iPhone/iPad. Now check them out.
