If you have seen the storage space of the iPhone, I believe that you are as curious as me, what is inside “other”? Why do you take up so much space on your phone and can’t clean it up?

This question, I used to call Apple senior technical consultants, and the answer is that there is no way to clean up. However, as a member of AppSo who did not admit defeat, I still figured out that it is actually a cache, and I found a way to clean them up.

In iOS 13, the app’s cache is no longer categorized into “other”, but is directly categorized in app. Therefore, the space occupied by the app in the storage space is instantaneously increased.

When the cache is cleaned, not only can the phone be successfully slimmed down, but the owner can even feel the washing of the mind (fog). Let’s talk about the little thing about “cache” below. Whether you are a 64G phone or not, I recommend you take a look.

What are the caches?

What is the cache of the iOS system? Offline maps, program caches, browser caches, browsed images, and more. Specific to WeChat, your chat history, avatars you have opened, videos you have watched in your circle of friends, error files generated when you retire, etc. will remain on your phone as a cache.

The effect of caching is good or bad.

The benefit is to save all your operational records and deliver them to you as soon as you need them. This involves technical knowledge. In short, the processing speed of the CPU and the processing speed of the memory (not the storage space) are completely different. CPU is too fast, the memory is too slow, so a shelf is needed in the middle.

If you do the same thing multiple times in the software, such as opening the same person’s avatar twice, the second time you click, the CPU will go directly to the shelf and bring the avatar to you, so you can quickly see it. Don’t wait for the avatar to circle as you did for the first time, and this shelf is “cache.”

Since it is so good, why should we clean it up?

Why clear the cache

9012 years, I won’t say anything about Caton! Moreover, iOS has not happened because of too many caches. Therefore, in this era, I mainly cleaned up the cache to slim down the phone and decompress the mind.

1. Save space

The iPhone in the era of low storage space often encounters a situation where there is no space for a photo when you take a photo. At this time, you have to delete the photos one by one to make room.

Maybe you will say, I am a 128G, 256G mobile phone, but in fact, we think about it carefully. The 64G iPhone was also a “big space mobile phone” for us. Now, if you buy a 64G mobile phone, you will definitely The dissuasion of people around. The reason is very simple, such as a super app like WeChat, a large number of files cached on your phone, or an increasingly powerful camera, an ultra-high-definition photo taken by the iPhone 11 Pro Max is XXM.

It can be seen that it is necessary to clean up the useless cache to save space on the phone. It is always useful for a full day unless you are a 512G phone.

2. Improve efficiency and solve hoarding 癖

Refreshing the browser over and over again is believed to be one of the things that many people in the PC era will do. When it comes to the mobile era, it has become a place to browse the circle of friends, or has been swaying and so on. In the process, a lot of useless garbage is generated to occupy the mobile phone space. In my opinion, it also occupies my spiritual space.

A few days ago, when upgrading the iOS 13 beta, I accidentally brushed it into a white apple, and all 300 software was gone. But when I reinstalled the software, I found that these things really didn’t really work for me. I can’t think of any software installed, and I don’t miss the chat records that I once regarded as a treasure, but I feel a lot easier.

No longer over and over again those “I thought it was useful to me” but I didn’t use it at all. I didn’t go down the chat record over and over again. My time was a lot more, and the phone didn’t control my life anymore. When we think of young people, we cherish that text message, which is precisely because of the small space and cherish it. Now that the space is big, we will hardly delete it. We want to say that we have a complete memory, but in fact, we don’t think we cherish these chat records.

Clean up the cache to help me succeed in “breaking away”, the phone is always a tool, life is my purpose.

Simple and quick cleaning method

Here, I will introduce some safe ways to clean up the cache.

• Shutdown and restart
• Trigger automatic cleanup mechanism

The iPhone had a good cleaning software called “Clean King” (has been removed). This kind of software actually cleans up the iOS automatic cleaning mechanism by writing a lot of data when the storage space is almost full. The purpose of the cache. So in fact, you can download a software that exceeds the remaining space to automatically clean up when there is not enough space.

• Clean up Safari’s cache

Quickly clear the Safari browser’s cache and go to Settings – Safari Browser – Clear History and Website Data. The downside is that you need to log in again when you enter the website, consider it yourself. In addition, you can turn off “Automatic offline storage”.

• Clean up WeChat storage (photos, videos, and caches)

In the old version of WeChat, I believe many people will worry about deleting the chat history when cleaning up the WeChat cache. The new version of WeChat clearly tells you that it will not, so boldly clear it! The downside is that you need to spend some traffic to re-download avatars, friends circle pictures and videos. The cleanup location is “I” – “Settings” – “General” – “Storage Space” – “Cache Cleanup”.

In addition, you can also click on “Chat History Management” to enter your personal chat history. Click the exclamation mark on the right to redirect some pictures and videos of a chat. Doing so will keepText and voice recording, but will clear selected pictures and videos. If you want to clean up more cleanly, go to the chat window and slide left to delete the chat record directly!

• Clean up the cache of other software

The cache of other software is also mostly found in the settings to clear the cache. Before that, you need to find out which software is the culprit! The location is in Settings – General – iPhone Storage.

Before “Other” is sometimes called “system”, this is also the time when we most often have doubts. Why does the system take up so much space? But now it’s down, you can see that iOS 13 has clearly told you that the “other” cache is divided into a “system” cache and a real “other” cache, but you still can’t directly lose weight.

• iCloud or Google Photos storage photos

If you have to buy iCloud space and don’t have much demand for local images, consider uploading all your photos directly to iCloud for space savings. The method is “Settings” – “Photos” – open “iCloud Photos” and check “Optimize iPhone Storage Space”.

Of course, if you have the conditions, you can also download Google Photos directly, select “Upload High Quality (Unlimited Free Storage)” in “Settings” – “Backup and Sync”, then “Settings” – “managing storage device” in free space, and limit the size of the cache, so that we can achieve unlimited take pictures! Of course, the premise is still not much demand for local images.

• Clean up voice memos

“Settings” – “Voice Memo” – “remove deleted items” can help you remove deleted items immediately.

• Clean up text messages and emails

“Settings” – “Information” – “Reserved Information” can choose to keep the information for 30 days, 1 year or permanently. It is time to clean up your “information” full of junk.

Go to “Email” and clean up your spam!

• Clean up Apple Music and podcasts

Apple Music users can also go to Settings – Music – Optimize Storage to limit the maximum footprint of songs downloaded from Apple Music. When it is turned on, when the limit is exceeded, the old song that has not been heard for a long time is automatically deleted.

In addition to manually deleting downloaded podcasts, Apple podcast users can also open “Delete Played Singles” in “Settings” – “Podcasts” so that the episode will be automatically deleted after 24 hours of playback.

• Back up, erase, and restore your phone

The ultimate method is naturally a brush machine! The location is in Settings – General – Restore – “Erase all content and settings”. This feature is too powerful and used with caution!

It’s up to you to clean up the cache, depending on how you think about caching. For me, it not only saves space for my mobile phone, but more importantly, it makes me do a good job of “breaking away”, at least I no longer use the phone frequently. Next, look at your own choices.
