Advice Request Android app cache

[SohanRay]

Do you use cache cleaner app for clearing app cache in Android on a regular basis? If not, why?

First we need to settle what you mean with cache.

Some apps name "ram" android cache (which i never clean cause this makes apps restart , reprocess , and use battery with that and slows generally the experience down ) generally task killer or similiar tools are bad on android.

or the real "cache" aka data from apps which they use to speed themselfs up , this one i clean like monthly because some of them dont clean themselfs up.

I am talking about storage data cache.
So you use any cleaner app or clean it manually from the app info page?

I wipe cache from the recovery partition when my phone slows down. I'm using an old low end phone so I need to do this sometimes.
Cache cleaner apps that I've used have been useless regarding this. Android 9.

I am talking about the individual app cache that an app creates and uses up storage. Not the system cache of Android itself. What you can clear from the recovery partition is the Android system cache.

I thought that cleared app cache too. Seems not. Apologies.

No prob. And yeah, it doesn't. Sorry for the disappointing news

Nope. I don't clean app cache unless an app is misbehaving or I am seriously low on storage. Honestly though Android apps installed sizes are getting ridiculously huge.

 

[SeriousHoax]

I don't because I have enough empty spaces. I restart my phone almost every week, which improves performance for my device.

I use SD Maid Pro, as well as Xiaomi's built in cleaning app. However, unless you are running low on storage space, or if an app is crashing due a corrupted cache, you usually don't need to worry about cleaning the cache. I only do, because my phone is often running low on storage space and Xiaomi's customised version of Android, MIUI, does not let you use a MicroSD card as extra storage space.

Which one?

SD maid and xiaomis built in ( but disabled ram cleaning )
