The cache on Snapchat is a temporary storage space on your device where Snapchat saves frequently accessed data so that it doesn’t have to fetch the same data repeatedly. Storing cache data allows the app to run faster. Snapchat stores cache for almost every function/feature of the app you use the most, including Memories, Stories, Stickers, Lenses, and other app functions and features. When you use these features, Snapchat builds up a cache, which gradually takes up more and more storage space. Clearing your cache on Snapchat removes only non-essential data automatically saved on your device when you use the app. Clearing your cache will not remove any critical or saved data, such as your login credentials, account information, friends list, downloaded files, Memories, Snaps, or Chats. Clearing the cache means freeing up storage, and it removes any unnecessary data or files the cache was holding, allowing Snapchat to run smoother and faster. To clear your cache on Snapchat, you can follow these steps:
- Open Snapchat.
- Tap your profile picture at the top-left corner of the screen.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to open the “Settings” menu.
- Scroll down to “Account actions” and tap “Clear cache.”
- Tap “Continue” to confirm the action of clearing the cache.
It is recommended to clear your cache on Snapchat if the app is running slow or giving you warnings that your disk is full.
