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”.

The main purpose of storing cached data is to improve the performance and speed of Apps by making use of cached data available right on your device, instead of downloading it from the web servers.

However, over a period of time, the App Cache can become outdated, corrupted and grow large enough to impact the performance of individual Apps or the device in general.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

1. Clear Individual App Cache on Android Phone
