If you’re like most people, you probably use Instagram every day. And if you’re like most people, you probably don’t know how to clear your Instagram cache. Clearing your Instagram cache can free up a ton of space on your device. If your phone or tablet is flashing the “Low Storage” warning, don’t worry; you’re not alone. This article will show you how to clear your Instagram cache in just a few simple steps.
