Snapchat’s Cache Explained Just like every other mobile or PC application, Snapchat saves a collection of files on your device to help it run faster whenever you use it. These files are known as Cache and for Snapchat, the app stores cache for almost every function/feature of the app you use the most.
What does it mean to clear the cache on Snapchat?
The clear cache option on Snapchat will remove certain types of data stored on your mobile device. Clearing the cache means you’ll delete some of the app’s least important data, allowing Snapchat to run more smoothly. Here’s how to clear your cache on Snapchat:
Is Snapchat’s cache worth the storage space?
While this comes with its benefits, Snapchat’s cache can be quite a storage-hog. For context, Snapchat is one of the apps that use the most storage space on my phone. And I barely use the app.
Why can’t I use Snapchat?
So if you’re having issues using Snapchat, try clearing the cache first, it’s a healthy tech habit to do with all of your apps every once in a while and if it’s still giving you problems even after you clear the cache, you can try uninstalling the application and visiting your respective app store and installing it again. Happy snapping!
Where are my Snapchat snaps saved on Android?
The Data folder contains cache data for all your apps. The folder labeled “com.snapchat.android” should have a cache folder in it. Within that cache folder, you will find yet another folder labeled “received_image_snaps.” The received_image_snaps folder contains all the snaps you received which are still in the cache.
