We call cache this storage which saves temporary files. Whether they come from the same system or from an application, they must be emptied regularly. And if there’s one app known to eat up cache space like there’s no tomorrow, it’s WhatsApp. Let’s see, then, how to free up space on our iPhone by emptying the WhatsApp cache.
How to recover the space occupied by the WhatsApp cache
In our iPhone, it is the operating system that regularly clears the caches and makes sure that the space used is only what is needed. Many applications also offer us the possibility of clearing the cache from the Settings application, with a simple button, a convenience that the WhatsApp application does not offer us. Fortunately, we have other resources.
First of all, however, let’s make sure we have a backup from whatsapp. We can do it from the tab Settingcome in CatsThen in backup copy and play Back up now. Once done, we can simply delete the WhatsApp application.
we can do it from Settings > General > iPhone Storage > WhatsApp tapping on delete app. With this we will achieve it, despite Facebook does not offer us the possibility to empty the WhatsApp cache Via a button in Settings, the system takes care of forcing the deletion of all its cache.
Once this step is completed, we can download the WhatsApp application from the App Store and restore the chats backup. Thanks to the elimination of the cache, in addition to having recovered space on our iPhone, we can solve another error in the application. Especially those that have to do with conversations, statuses and profile pictures, because WhatsApp will again download the information directly from the servers.
While we can now use WhatsApp directly from the Apple Watch with all its features, we can say that the the process of flushing caches could be much, much simpler. Luckily, however, we can successfully clear WhatsApp caches, even if it takes several extra steps.
