Safari, Apple's web browser, uses a caching system to store temporary files and data from websites you visit. These cached files, known as Safari cache files, serve the purpose of speeding up the loading times of websites and improving overall browsing performance. The Safari app in any iPhone or iPad is designed to enhance the user experience and make browsing easy for its users. It allows iOS users to access internet services easily while being secure. Users can even add bookmarks to retrieve a webpage in a quick manner. To do all this, the Safari app in your device stores information in your Cache memory so that it can be accessed quickly. But for some reason, if you wish to delete it to free space on your iPhone, here is how to clear the iPhone cache from your own device.

Follow the steps given below to clear the Safari Cache of your iPhone or iPad using the Settings app on your device.

Step 1: Open the Settings app

Launch the “Settings” app on the iOS device in which you wish to clear the Safari cache. The Settings is a gear icon on a grey background and can be found in the home screen of your device.

Step 2: Select the “Safari” option

Scroll down through the options and find the “Safari” option. Now, tap on the “Safari” option to open it.

Step 3: tap on “Clear History and Website Data”

In the new screen, scroll down to the end to find the option “Clear History and Website Data”. Tap on that option. If you are using an iPad, this option will be available in the right pane of your device.

Step 4: confirm the clearing process

In the pop-up that appears, tap on “Clear” option to confirm the clearing of cache in your device.
