To clear the cache on Snapchat, follow these steps:
- Open the Snapchat app on your device.
- Tap on your profile icon located at the top left corner of the screen.
- Tap the gear icon at the top right corner to open Settings.
- Scroll down to the "Privacy Controls" section and tap on "Clear Data."
- Tap on "Clear Cache."
- Confirm by tapping "Clear" in the pop-up. The app will restart after clearing.
Clearing the cache removes temporary files like thumbnail previews, lens data, and cached filters without deleting your Memories, Snaps, or Chats. This can help free up storage space and improve the app’s performance, especially if it has become slow or laggy. On iOS, you may also clear specific cache types separately, but the above general method works well for most users. Clearing the cache regularly can keep Snapchat running smoothly without affecting your saved data.
