If your iPhone is slow or has intermittent problems, you can try clearing the cache to fix it. There is no system-level cache cleaner in iOS, so you cannot clear your iPhone’s cache in one go. What you can do is clear the cache separately for the various apps, if they support this feature. To clear the cache on the iPhone, we will take a three-part approach. First, we will clear the cache in Safari, the default browser on iOS devices. Then we’ll show you how to clear the cache for individual apps. Finally, we’ll take a look at the system-level tweaks that might solve some of the common problems you may have.
