How to clear your iPhone’s cache for Safari and Chrome

It is quick and easy to clear the cache for Safari and Chrome on an iPhone.

A cache is temporary, fast-access, memory used to store data you request frequently so it can be retrieved quickly.

Web-browsers and other apps store data related to sites you visit regularly, or actions you routinely perform, to make your experience using the app faster.

When the caches storing this data get full, your device becomes slower, and has a higher risk of crashing.


Clearing the caches for Safari and Chrome will log you out of your most-visited websites, so remind yourself of your passwords before you start cache clearing.

From your home screen, open the iPhone Settings.Swipe down to Safari, then tap to enter Safari settings.In your Safari settings, scroll down until you reach “clear history and website data”, under the privacy and security section, then tap to activate.Tap again to confirm – and it’s as simple as that.

To clear your cache for Chrome…

This will pull up a list.Tap History which will open a new menu.Tap Clear Browsing Data.Here, you can choose what to delete. You should tick the box for cached images and files, but you can also clear cookies and site data, and autofill passwords, from this menu.Tap Clear Browsing Data.
