How to Clear Cache on iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, and Pro Max

Aside from letting you clear Safari's cache data, your iPhone 13 doesn't provide you with a direct way to remove the cache. However, just because you don’t have a direct option doesn’t mean you should give up. That’s right; we’re here to uncover some creative workarounds. So, let’s talk about how to clear the cache on your iPhone 13. 

How to Clear the Cache on the iPhone 13

There are three steps to remove the cache on your iPhone 13, beginning with Safari and then expanding to other apps. Here’s what precisely you need to do.

Step #1: Clear the History & Cookies from Safari

First, let’s show you how to remove your history and cookies from Safari, improving the app’s performance (especially if you’ve recently updated iOS). Do the following. 

1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone. 

2. Then, scroll down and tap on 'Safari.'

3. Now, scroll all the way down. Tap on 'Clear History and Website Data.'

4. Once asked to confirm your decision, select 'Clear History and Data.'

5. Return to your home screen. Feel free to launch Safari. That’s it!

Step #2: Delete Unwanted App Data

Next, here’s how to clear the cache on your iPhone 13 by diving into the data produced by third-party apps. Go through the following steps.

1. Navigate to Settings > General.

2. Then, tap on 'iPhone Storage.'

3. Give it a moment until your iPhone lists your locally installed apps. 

4. Now, feel free to tap the app whose cache you want to delete. 

5. You'll see the 'Documents & Data' section at the top, which includes the app's cache.

6. To delete the cache this way, know that you first need to uninstall the app. 

7. If you want to proceed, tap on 'Delete App.' 

8. Now, re-download the app by visiting the App Store. 

9. You can now check if you’ve deleted the cache successfully. Go to Settings > General.

Step #3: Clear the Cache by Restarting Your iPhone

Lastly, there's one more way to clear the cache on your iPhone 13, and that would be by restarting your device. Doing so will rebuild certain databases, clearing the cache in the process.
