How to clear cache on iphone to free up more space
When you want to clear cache on iPhone without deleting data, you need to consider not only app cache but also browser cache, which can take up a significant amount of space on your device.
Browser cache, also known as browsing history or temporary internet files, is a collection of data stored by your browser, such as images, website data, and cookies. This cache helps your browser load websites faster by storing frequently accessed data locally on your device. However, as it accumulates over time, it can consume a substantial amount of storage space.
Step 1. To clear cache on iPhone without deleting data, follow these steps:
Step 2. Open Safari (or any other browser you're using, such as Chrome or Firefox): Go to the home screen and tap on the Safari app icon (or the icon of the browser you're using).
Step 3. Tap on 'Tabs': In the bottom-right corner of the screen, tap on the 'Tabs' icon (represented by two overlapping rectangles).
Step 4. Select 'Private': Tap on the 'Private' tab, which will open a new window with a blank page.
Step 5. Go to Settings: Tap on the 'AA' icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen to go to the browser settings.
Step 6. Clear Browsing Data: Scroll down and tap on 'Clear Browsing Data.'
Step 7. Select 'Cache': Choose the type of data you want to clear, which in this case is 'Cache.'
Step 8. Confirm: Tap on 'Clear Now' to confirm that you want to clear the browser cache.
