YOGYAKARTA - Cache data is temporary data stored in Android storage memory when running applications on mobile phones. The memory is not permanent on the phone, but it can hamper the performance of your smartphone.

Cached data is usually automatically stored on your phone when you operate an application, such as the Google Chrome browser to visit certain sites, especially when a user opens a photo or video.

When you open that photo or video, the cached data will automatically be saved as a temporary file on Android. With the temporary file, the browser will play the desired content faster.

It makes your browsing speed increase, and saves the quota used to open a file on the internet. Therefore, cached data has great benefits, not only for smartphones to make it easier to play files, but also for users.

Although it has many benefits, cache data can make Android run slowly when the amount stored in the phone's memory is quite large. Moreover, the perceived benefits only occur when users operate online applications or browse the internet.

Usually, smartphones that have been used for more than 1 year will experience performance problems due to the large amount of cached data stored. However, users do not need to worry about smartphone performance will continue to slow down.

You can clear cache data so that your smartphone's performance recovers. Deleting cached data regularly can also make your smartphone have stable performance even though it is often used for browsing and opening applications online.
