So you’re having trouble with YouTube on your iPhone running slow and laggy? Yeah, that’s frustrating. Unfortunately, iPhone doesn’t offer a straightforward way to clear the app cache like Android does, but you can try a few things that might help.
-
Clear Safari Cache: This won’t directly affect the YouTube app, but it’s worth a shot.
- Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
-
Offload the YouTube App:
- Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
- Find YouTube and tap on it.
- Select Offload App. This keeps your docs and data but clears the app cache.
- Re-download the app from the App Store.
-
Delete and Reinstall YouTube: This definitely clears cache data.
- Hold down the YouTube app icon until it jiggles.
- Tap the X to delete it.
- Go to the App Store and reinstall YouTube.
-
Restart your iPhone: Sometimes a simple reboot can fix the lag.
- Hold down the power button until the slider appears. Slide it to power off, then turn it back on.
Hopefully, one of these methods speeds up YouTube for you!
