A cache is a temporary storage area that holds data you access frequently. But sometimes, your app cache can contribute to slow loading time and other problems you might experience.

Cache is all the data your phone stores locally as you visit websites and use apps in order to give you search results faster.

Temporary Impact on App Speed: Clearing the cache might temporarily slow down apps until they re-cache the necessary data. However, this is a minor trade-off for the long-term benefits.

If your phone is running slower than you think it should, try clearing out the cache on your browser or most-used apps to bring it back up to speed.

Is your iPhone running slowly or having trouble with some common tasks? It could just need to have its cache cleared. Here's the steps to follow.
