Deleting these caches can free up space on your device, improving performance and speed. While clearing the cache in Safari is simple and quick, deleting the cache in third-party apps can be more complicated. Here we’ll show you a step-by-step guide on how to clear the cache in Safari and other apps on iPhone.

Besides, if you delete website data from your iPhone, it will be deleted from all of your other Apple devices that are signed in to the same iCloud account that syncs with Safari.

How To Clear Your iPhone’s App Cache

To clear the cache from your iPhone apps, you will need to offload them. This will free up the storage space the app uses while still keeping its data and documents. All your data will be recovered once you reinstall the app.

Step 1: Go to Settings and tap General and then click on iPhone Storage.

Fake Shopping Websites

Fraudsters or scammers create fake online stores. Deals that seem too good to be true are offered on those websites, particularly around festivals when people are looking for sales. While appearing authentic, these websites steal your credit card and personal information.

What To Do:

Always check the website URL carefully
Stick to known platforms and use secure payment methods like credit cards
Don’t click on links from random messages

Fake Banking Apps

Cybercriminals trick users into downloading fake banking apps or reward apps. They send messages saying things like, ‘Update your KYC’ or ‘Last chance to earn reward points.’ Once installed, these apps steal your personal and banking details.

What To Do:

Use only official app stores to download apps
Verify any urgent messages directly with your bank
Set up two-factor authentication on your bank accounts

Counterfeit IRCTC Apps

During the festive season, with many people traveling by train, scammers create fake IRCTC apps to steal sensitive data. This includes your login credentials and location.

What To Do:

Download the ‘IRCTC Rail Connect’ app only from trusted sources
Be careful with apps asking for too many permissions
Regularly update your phone’s security software

Fake Prize Offers

During the holidays, fraudsters send messages saying you have won a gift card or prize. This leads you to phishing sites that gets access to your personal information.

What To Do:

Verify such offers directly with the official brand’s customer support
Don’t share your personal information with unknown sources

QR Code Scams (Quishing)

Scammers use malicious QR codes on flyers or social media posts that, when scanned, take you to fake websites or download malware onto your device.

What To Do:

Be careful about where you scan QR codes
Manually enter URLs instead of relying on QR codes

UPI Scams

With UPI being a popular payment method in India, scammers create fake UPI IDs that appear to be associated with big brands. This tricks people into sending money to the wrong account.

What To Do:

Double-check UPI IDs before making payments
Be cautious about donation requests and verify the organization first
