Apple products catalog bits of commonly used data in a drive called the cache.
The cache is designed to be helpful but it can get quite clogged over time.
As explained by CNET, cleaning the cache can speed up your device and give the device a chance to reassess what sites are being visited the most frequently.
If your iPhone is slowing down or there are glitches when web browsing, that could be a sign it’s time to clear the cache.
Web browsers and other apps store data related to sites you visit regularly, or actions you routinely perform, to make your experience using the app faster.
When the caches storing this data get full, your device becomes slower, and has a higher risk of crashing.
It might be mildly inconvenient to have cleared caches, as you may need to log back in to some sites and apps, or go through the process of personalizing some settings.
The benefits can outweigh the cost if your device has been affected by a stuffed cache.
