WhatsApp It is one of those applications that most of us use on a daily basis and practically every time. And everything that we do in it, from opening it to sharing some state, causes it to occupy a type of space in the memory of our device.
This is done so that when you run the app again, the process is done much faster. The memory used for these processes is known as cache memory. Nevertheless, the cache memory begins to occupy space from the moment we install WhatsApp on our computerand it also stores some crashes and other processes, which generate more and more weight, thus slowing down the application.
So if you notice that WhatsApp starts to slow down on your device, or starts to have a lot of bugs or certain functions are not available, you will probably be able to solve it by deleting the cache.
How do I clear the cache on WhatsApp?
It is worth mentioning that this process can only be carried out on Android devices, in the case of iPhone devices only the data generated in each chat can be deleted.
So to clear the cache on your Android, you must open the ‘Settings’ or ‘Configuration’ of your equipment. Then you must search for and access the ‘Applications’ section.
In ‘Applications’ you will see a list with all the apps you have installed on your device, click on WhatsApp and there you should see ‘Storage and data’, access this section.
Then you must press the option ‘Clear cache’ and in a few seconds everything that the application has stored there will be deleted. You will know that the process has finished when the amount that was showing before is considerably less.
And if you are worried about deleting any image or audio, Files you have received or shared are not cached.
