As you continue using Apps on your phone or tablet, they store cached files and data in a temporary storage location on your Android device known as the “Cache”.

However, over a period of time, the App Cache can become outdated, corrupted and grow large enough to impact the performance of individual Apps or the device in general.

When this happens, you can expect to improve the performance of your Phone or Tablet by manually clearing its App Cache.
