Android: Free up space with App Cache Cleaner

Most Android apps use a caching feature to store temporary data on the device. A basic example is a web browser that saves visited web pages to the cache to open them faster then next time you load them. The overall cache used by applications on the Android device growth over time, and while you can clear the cache for apps individually from the application manager, it is not really the most practicable feature if you want to clear all cached data on the smartphone or tablet.
The core benefit of clearing the app cache is to free up disk space on the device. You may also be able to fix several related issues, like low memory warnings that you may receive when your phone's storage is filled to the brim.
App Cache Cleaner is a free Android app that improves cache cleaning significantly. Probably the biggest feature that it adds to the device is the ability to clear all app caches with a single tap once the application has been opened on the device.
The application displays all apps installed on the system that use the cache, sorted by size starting with the application that uses the largest amount of storage on the device. You can tap on the clear all button right away - even before the list is fully populated - to erase the cached data of all apps on your phone or tablet.
You can furthermore tap on the settings button to change the sorting, by name for instance, or use the search to find a specific app faster.
A long tap on any application displays a context menu that you can use to clear the cache of that app, share the app with friends, view it on Android Market, open the application, or load the application's detail page on the phone.
App Cache Cleaner ships with automation options that some may find useful. You can configure the app to automatically clear the cache of all apps when you open the program, or configure it to clear the cache in intervals that you specify.
Verdict
App Cache Cleaner does what it is supposed to do. You can use it to free up storage from time to time or automate the process instead to not be bothered with it at all anymore. It is responsive and fast in what it does, and there is little to criticize about it. I suggest you give it a try if your cache is growing too fast or if you are device is always running out of space due to extensive caching. (via)
Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
