Clearing Cache & Data

Sometimes clearing cached data fixes problems. Here's how.

What Is Cache?

Cache is temporary data stored to make the app faster:

  • Recently viewed foods
  • Downloaded images
  • Search history
  • Temporary files

    • When to Clear Cache

    Clear cache if:

  • App is running slow
  • Seeing old/incorrect data
  • App behaving strangely
  • Support suggests it
  • After major updates

    • Clearing Cache (Safe)

    This removes temporary files but keeps your account and data.

    Android

  • Go to Settings (phone settings)
  • Tap Apps or Application Manager
  • Find and tap ClapDiet
  • Tap Storage
  • Tap Clear Cache
  • Reopen ClapDiet

    ⚠️ Warning: This removes all local data. Your cloud data is safe.
