What is a Twitter Cache?
Twitter caches are data automatically created every time you open and use the application or visit a website through Twitter. These caches are stored in your device to help Twitter (like other apps) and websites load quickly and save browsing preferences and information.
Why Clear Your Twitter Cache?
Clearing the Twitter cache only removes junk files stored on your device as you use the application. This does not delete other important data, images, or videos saved on your Twitter account and device. It will only refresh the app and remove the stored temporary files like thumbnails from your device storage.
So, is it safe to clear the Twitter cache? Yes! We recommend clearing your Twitter cache for the following reasons:
Free Up Memory. Stored cache data on your device can increase from MB to GB, which may affect your app performance. Clear your cache to free up device memory if you’re having trouble using Twitter.
Delete Search History. Delete Other Data and History. Deleting your Twitter cache also clears other web-related data like cookies and some saved passwords from websites you visit via Twitter.
Remove Other Saved Information. Twitter may also track and save other information from your off-Twitter activity (to personalize your app experience). This may create and add up more cache data, so try clearing it.
There’s no need to reinstall Twitter to release the app’s temporary files. You may also try clearing Twitter data along with the cache if you still have issues using it. Clear Twitter cache periodically for better app usage.
Why does Twitter have a Cache?
Applications and sites create a cache for ease of access. Twitter caches data to save important info like your login credentials, settings, and other customizations. It prevents frequent, and slow app reloads every time you open and use it. Twitter has a cache for the following reasons:
Seamless in-app experience.
Save your data for your convenience.
Does not affect the data they collect on your usage.
A stored Twitter cache allows users to continue where they left off after closing the application for some time. Twitter collects and stores data as long as you use the app. To prevent total data collection, you need to delete the Twitter app entirely.
