"Google released Android 16 over the summer to Pixel devices and select OEMs, bringing performance improvements, new Material You changes, and more upgrades. If you want to try the latest update but are hesitant because you've noticed your Android phone or tablet already feels too sluggish, clearing app and browser caches can give it a fresh boost and free up some storage space."
"Open Chrome, tap the three-dot menu > History > Clear browsing data. Select the time range and check "Cached images and files" (and any other data you wish to remove). Then tap "Clear data." Each option explains what it does and how it affects your experience. For example, clearing cookies and site data will log you out of many or all websites, while clearing cached images and files might cause Chrome to load images slower next time you visit a site."
Cached data on Android devices can accumulate, become corrupted, or become outdated, leading to slower performance. Restarting a device can help, but clearing app and browser caches provides a targeted method to improve responsiveness and reclaim storage. Any Android device can follow similar steps, though exact menus vary by manufacturer. For Chrome on Android, open Chrome, tap the three-dot menu > History > Clear browsing data, choose a time range, check "Cached images and files," and tap "Clear data." Clearing cookies will log out websites; cached-image removal may slow initial page loads afterward.
