Tech experts confirm that Twitter creates a cache, which refers to a collection of data that can take up hundreds of megabytes (if not more) of your phone’s storage.
These pieces of data are usually saved offline so that your device does not need to download them over and over each time you launch a particular app.
How to clear memory on iPhone phones
Open the Twitter app on your device.
Click on your profile picture located in the upper left corner.
Click on the Settings and Support drop-down menu in the lower left corner.
Click on Settings and privacy.
Select Accessibility, Display and Languages. It’s at the bottom of the list.
Select the bottom option: Data usage.
Click on Media Storage.
Tap the red Clear Media Storage button, then tap it again.
Click on Web Storage.
You will be presented with two options: Clear Web Page Storage and Clear All Web Storage.
The second option will not only delete your cache, but also your cookies and saved login information.
If you want to keep it, click on the first option. Tap on the option of your choice again to confirm, and your Twitter cache will be cleared.
Android phone storage
Unlike iOS, you do not need to log into the Twitter app to delete its cache on your Android device.
Instead, you’ll go to the main settings of your phone or tablet.
• Open the Settings app on your Android device.
• Scroll down a bit and select Apps or Apps & notifications.
• Click Manage Applications.
• Scroll down until you find Twitter and select it.
• Click Storage or Storage & cache.
• Select Clear Data.
• You will see two options: Clear All Data and Clear Cache.
• Selecting Clear cache will delete stored GIFs and other media, but will leave your web cache and login information.
• Selecting Clear All Data will remove everything, including your saved passwords. Click on the option that suits you.
