this will slow your phone and make it redownload everything you deleted which will use more data

So how exactly can you determine if your cache is speeding you up or slowing you down? Without this information the advice here is useless.

Has clearing any sort of cache sped up any sort of device in the last 15 years?

Cache helps load websites faster by saving parts of pages on your device. Clearing it doesn’t boost speed, it only fixes websites when the saved files get messed up. And even if your browser is synced, clearing cache on your phone won’t clear it on your PC. Sync only affects things like bookmarks and history.

0:38 – misinformation! Just because you clean the browser cache, it doesn’t mean that you have to clear your entire browser data. Are you new to tech or maybe did you ask for video ideas from ChatGPT and you parrot whatever it spit on your screen? Because you just don’t make sense to me.

Mate, you should do more videos 😊👍🏾 I was more interested in the video editing setup you have. Keep it up.

Very true that to speed up any computing devices the first thing should be clearing up all the caches either a computer (selecting all options on Disk Cleanup on Windows PC) or a smartphone and ALWAYS perform full shot-down, wait for 30 seconds and full power-up cycle (a Re-Boot Cycle). I do this cache clean-up cycle daily to all my devices and on my iPhones I actually created shortcuts to do this task on every browser with a single tap.
