Quick tip of the dayIs your smartphone feeling a little sluggish? Sometimes (say it with me, IT crowd) turning it off and then on again does the trick. If not, time to clear your cache. This could fix your performance issues, open up storage and give your phone a nice speed boost. On an Android phone Chrome: Open Chrome, and tap the three dots in the corner. Tap History, then Clear browsing data. Select All time. Check the boxes for Cookies and site data and Cached images and files, then tap Clear data.Delete unwanted app data: Navigate to your apps through the Settings menu. Depending on your phone and OS, likely through Settings > Storage > Other Apps. Find the app you want (you'll see how much space they take up) and hit the Clear cache button. If you want to clear the storage completely, choose the Clear storage button instead. This will wipe out your username and password, progress and any associated files.Head to the website for steps on iPhone and more smartphone deep-cleaning tricks. |
