Our Xiaomi phones have the Chinese manufacturer’s own personalization layer installed, MIUI 14, which saves many useful functions like focus mode, a helpful tool focused on maintenance, or the camera app that improves photo processing.
However, when we run out of storage or our terminal slows down, it is natural to clear the cache. What you may not know is that MIUI has the ability to automatically remove it, thus avoiding us to interact with the mobile. we tell you how to activate this function so that your mobile is always optimized.
This is how automatic cache clearing is enabled in Xiaomi
Like any other hidden function, we have to navigate a little in the MIUI 14 settings of our Xiaomi mobile. Specifically, you have to go to the battery department. It will seem a little strange, since there is no direct relationship between the cache and the battery, but that is where Xiaomi preferred to place it.
Once in this section, we will see the different performance modes, as well as the battery consumption generated by the different applications installed. But we don’t want any of that, but we have to be careful of the speed button located in the upper right corner.
Pressing it we will go to the lock screen settings, where the function in question can be observed. It’s labeled as “Clear cache when device is locked”, tap it, and you can set different options: In 1, 5, 10 or 30 minutes, or the default choice “never”.
What effect does it have? Well, easy to understand: when we lock our Xiaomi mobile using the button dedicated to it, the system automatically releases the applications cache within the determined time that we have set. As simple as that.
Of course, remember that clearing the cache has a few consequences: Apps may take a little longer to open for the first time after jailbreaking and may have less robust performance. It’s not a serious thing, but it’s good to know. After a while, it will return to normal.
Thus, we will not have to waste time releasing it every time we notice strange behavior. As we see, MIUI includes many useful secrets that we can take advantage of, and this it will save us time and effort.
