 How to clear cache and cookies on iPad?

      Cleaning the cache, cookies and iPad apps is one of the maintenance tasks we must do on the tablets made by Apple, so that they age better.

      Whether for security, privacy, or simply to save space, you can delete this collected information from the most popular browsers, as well as from the apps themselves.

  In these times, as users of technological devices, we are increasingly suspicious of our security.  Something similar happens in terms of privacy, which is that we don't want to give too much information, too much sensitive data, to browser developers.  If you feel identified, we'll show you the steps to follow to clear cache and cookies on your iPad, regardless of your browser and apps.

  In fact, the truth is that iPadOS 15 is full of features and improvements that improve the performance of the iPad.  We have its original browser, Safari, which has received dozens of new features in this update.  We have, for example, very interesting extensions, such as Private Relay, to mention one of them.

  However, if you usually browse every day, you will probably notice that your iPhone slows down over time.  This is because the major browsers, both Apple Safari and Google Chrome, store that information or data, in the form of cache and cookies, and it's the browsers we intend to work on today.

  Something you should know is that cache and cookies are on the iPad inside internet browsers and in some of the most popular apps we find inside Apple tablets.

  But then what are cache and cookies?

  Since we often insist on getting rid of them, you may be wondering what the purpose of cache and cookies is.  Both cache and cookies are data that is stored on the user's device, in this case the iPad.  They are also stored to "improve" our experience when we browse these portals.

  In general, we can define cache as the data stored in web browsers to help load heavy items like images, thumbnails, documents, etc.  Thus, they affect the speed.

  Meanwhile, we find small files in cookies that are used to store user information, such as your preferences and details, in a way that specifically affects your experience as a user.

  How to clear cache and cookies on iPad

  At this point, you definitely have some good reasons to clear your cache and cookies.  We can mention several of them, such as privacy, general system cleaning, etc.

  In the Safari browser

      Open iPad Settings

      Go to Safari from the sidebar

      Scroll down, and enter Privacy and Security

      Find the Clear History and Website Data option, and confirm the action

  Once you complete the above steps, your existing Safari cookies will be removed completely.  Of course, they will continue to accumulate in the future.  To avoid this, you must block all cookies.

  But it is important to realize that this may negatively affect some web pages.

  In the Chrome browser

      Open Google Chrome on your iPad like you always do

      Click on the cut-out icon at the top right

      Scroll down and enter Settings, then Privacy menu

      Select cookies, site data, cached images and files, and continue to delete them

      If you wish, you can also delete your browsing history and passwords from time to time

  As in Safari, these cookies will be deleted again in the future.  You will need to erase it periodically.

  In Firefox Browser

  Although few people choose it, you can also clear the cache, history, and cookies in Firefox.

  How to clear app cache on iPad

  While browsers' cache and cookies guarantee speed, the amount of data accumulated by apps is much greater when it comes to hardware resources like the iPad.

  So, clearing the app’s cache not only frees up space on your iPad but can also correct annoying bugs, errors, and crashes that some apps encounter when you try to launch them.

  Anyway, this is the tutorial for clearing an app's cache on iPad:

      Go to Settings, General, iPad Storage

      After I calculate the storage, you will see all the applications

      There you can choose the apps you want, to delete the cache

      To do this, you have to completely remove the app from your iPad, directly by uninstalling

      After that, you reinstall the application on your computer, this will allow you to enjoy it with a clean cache

  And what if you have a tablet other than an iPad?  You must learn how to delete cookies on Android.
