Whatsapp, one of the world’s most popular messaging apps, is essential for communication. You can use this app to chat with friends regardless of your country or continent and send photos, videos and files. However, over time, the app can stack up the temporary files that simply won’t go away.
These are cache files, they include media on mobile devices and chat logs in addition to documents that quickly fill an iPhone’s storage. Unlike other apps for clearing cache on iPhone, WhatsApp does not have a built-in, easy option.
However, you can still manage this data by reinstalling the app and thereby getting rid of all of those temporary files at once. We will show you how to easily clear WhatsApp cache on your iPhone.
