2. Clear App Caches
On a similar note, there’s another way that apps could be slowing down your iPhone: caches. Some apps, like internet browsers, will keep a cache of history, cookies and other data. That may be great for convenience, but all that data can add up rather quickly — and they take up quite a bit of space on your iPhone, too. Some likely suspects as Safari, Chrome and Dropbox.
To clear Chrome’s Cache, for example, follow the steps below.
- Open the app.
- Tap on the three-dot Menu.
- Tap on Settings.
- Tap on Privacy.
- Tap on Clear Browsing Data.
Clearing Safari’s cache is a bit easier.
- Open Settings.
- Tap Safari.
- Scroll down and tap on Clear History and Website Data.
