If your OnePlus 13 is slowing down, experiencing app crashes, or running out of storage, clearing the app cache can help. Over time, apps store temporary data to improve performance, but excessive cache buildup can sometimes cause issues.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to clear the app cache on your OnePlus 13. The app cache consists of temporary files stored by apps to speed up performance. For example, a web browser caches website data so pages load faster.
While cache files are useful, they can accumulate over time, leading to storage issues and app glitches. You might want to clear the app cache on your OnePlus 13 to free up storage space, fix app crashes or glitches, improve app performance and resolve loading issues in apps like YouTube, Instagram, or Chrome.
