How to Clear Instagram Cache

Do you want to clear your Instagram cache? Clearing your cache may improve the application speed if it hasn't been cleared in a while. However, while Instagram allows you to clear your recent search history, there is no option to clear your cache. To clear your cache manually on iPhone, you'll need to delete the app and install it again. For Android, you can clear your cache in your phone's Settings. This wikiHow will show you how to clear your cache in the Instagram app on your iPhone and Android devices.
