Quick tip of the day

You remember to clear your cluttered computer from time to time, but what about your smartphone? Our phones are essentially handheld computers, and when they overflow with useless information, their operations can also slow down. Think overburdened call logs, search history, and saved texts.

For Android users, try Clean Master or All-In-One Toolbox. You can use these apps to clean out junk files, clean your cache, delete cookies, wipe out temporary files. Note: Both are free to use but ad-supported.

iPhones don’t have an equivalent app, but clearing your cache is simple. Tap or click here and scroll down to “Clear that cache.”
