What is how to clear instagram cache?

Here's how to clear your Instagram cache on Android and iOS:

  • Why Clear Cache? Clearing your cache can free up storage space on your device and potentially resolve some app issues. It removes temporary files that Instagram stores, such as images and videos.

  • On Android:

    1. Go to your phone's Settings.
    2. Tap Apps or Application Manager (the name may vary depending on your device).
    3. Find and tap Instagram in the list of apps.
    4. Tap Storage.
    5. Tap Clear Cache. Some Android versions may also offer the option to Clear Data which is more thorough but will require you to log back into Instagram. You can get more information about this from here: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Clear%20Data
  • On iOS (iPhone/iPad):

    • Unlike Android, iOS doesn't have a direct "Clear Cache" button for individual apps. Instead, you have two options:
      1. Offload App: This removes the app but keeps its documents and data. When you reinstall, your data will be restored. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Instagram > Offload App. Then, reinstall Instagram from the App Store.
      2. Delete App: This removes the app and all its associated data. You'll need to reinstall the app and log in again. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Instagram > Delete App. Then, reinstall Instagram from the App Store. More info: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Delete%20App
  • Important Considerations:

    • Clearing the cache will not delete your Instagram account or your posts, followers, or following list.
    • After clearing the cache, Instagram may take slightly longer to load images and videos initially as it rebuilds the cache.
    • Consider clearing your cache periodically if you're running low on storage space. More information about Storage Space: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Storage%20Space
