  • Chats.WhatsApp: So you can easily know which contacts are online and how many times they connect per day

WhatsApp is one of the applications most used daily by Spaniards and one of the most widely used communication channels worldwide. This is one of the main responsible for us living permanently hooked on the mobile phone. However, WhatsApp doesn't always work as well as it should .

Every WhatsApp user has experienced delays when sending or receiving messages (they keep the icon of the clock for several seconds), when downloading photos, videos or audios, and even when changing from chat to other.

In most cases it is a problem that has an easy solution for us: clear the WhatsApp cache .

The WhatsApp cache is a storage that the app reserves for the most frequently used or requested data so that the application can retrieve it more easily.

It is, therefore, an auxiliary memory that functions as a preferred highway that is made so that WhatsApp can collect the information it needs on a recurring basis.

Clear WhatsApp cache on Android

Clearing the cache of WhatsApp on Android is extremely simple . We simply need to follow the steps outlined below.

First of all we must go to the Settings section . Once inside we must select the application option . Within applications we must look for WhatsApp (it will be accompanied by an icon). Once we have selected WhatsApp we must look for the storage option and once there select the option to empty the cache .

Clear cache on iPhone

Apple users who experience these problems do not have an analogous formula to clear the cache as it happens with Android devices.

Therefore, they will have to resort to a more rudimentary option that consists of checking if there is any WhatsApp update available to solve the problem. In case the update exists, it is recommended to update.

If not, it will be best to uninstall and reinstall the application on our phone.

Why is it good to clear WhatsApp cache?

It is important to note that by deleting or cleaning the WhatsApp cache we will not be deleting or losing messages, photos or videos . However, in the case of the iPhone, if we choose the option to install and uninstall the application, we may have lost some information. Therefore, if you are going to use that more rudimentary formula, it is recommended to make a backup before.

By deleting the WhatsApp cache we will not be losing any relevant information. However, we will be managing to free up space reserved for that application, which will allow the app's processes to work faster and, therefore, WhatsApp will work better on our phone.
