You can do this for your applications on your Android device, as well as the browsers you frequently use. Let\u2019s go over how you can do both to speed up your device a bit.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Clear Your App Cache<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you have an application that is giving you trouble. Sometimes clearing the cache can resolve the issue. To do this, open your Settings application and select Apps. Keep in mind that this process might be a little different depending on the model of your device, but it will generally be about the same.<\/p>\n<p>Where it says Your Apps, select the hamburger menu. From here, you\u2019ll be brought to a list of all your device\u2019s applications. You should sort these by size to see which ones are clogging up all the space on your device. When you have an idea of which app\u2019s cache you want to clear, select it.<\/p>\n<p>On the app\u2019s page, you should see an option for Storage. Then, at the bottom of the screen, you\u2019ll see Clear Cache. Select this to do the deed. Now, the cache will automatically refill over time, as the temporary files stored are meant to improve your experience, but know that it\u2019s still a good idea to clear the cache every so often.<\/p>\n<h2>Clear Your Browser Cache<\/h2>\n<p>You can also clear the cache for your web browser, too, which will delete temporarily stored images and site files. Below, we\u2019ve compiled the selections for clearing the cache on all the major web browsers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Chrome:<\/strong> Three Dot Menu &gt; Settings &gt; Privacy and Security &gt; Clear Browsing Data<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Firefox:<\/strong> Three Dot Menu &gt; Settings &gt; Delete Browsing Data<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Edge:<\/strong> Three Dot Menu &gt; Settings &gt; Privacy and Security &gt; Clear Browsing Data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The process is basically the same for all of the mobile web browsers. Note that you can select which types of data you specifically want to delete, so be sure to check only what you want to get rid of.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you found this tip helpful!
