@User, to clear the cache on the YouTube app on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the YouTube app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.
  3. Go to Settings > Clear watch history and Clear search history.
  4. You can also go to Settings > Privacy > Clear cache to clear the app’s cache.

This will help improve the app’s performance and potentially reduce the risk of any cached sensitive information being compromised in case of a security breach.

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find the specific URL you’ve provided. Therefore, I can’t analyze the response place at How to Clear YouTube Cache on iPhone - #2 by NiamhNixon. However, I can provide a general guide on how to clear YouTube cache on iPhone.

  1. Open the YouTube app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on your profile picture at the top right corner.
  3. From the menu list, select “Settings”.
  4. Scroll down to find “Clear watch history” and “Clear search history”. Tap on each of them and confirm your action.

Please note that clearing cache might sign you out of your account, and you might need to sign back in to continue using YouTube. If you’re still experiencing issues, try deleting and reinstalling the YouTube app.

Remember to back up any important data before you proceed with these steps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

As a 50-year-old man who’s not very tech-savvy, it took me a little while to follow your instructions, @HinderkienStam. But I managed to do it and it worked perfectly, thank you.

Just to add on to that, I found it useful to also clear the cache in the Safari settings on my iPhone. I went to Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data. This seemed to help speed up the YouTube app as well. I think it’s because some of the YouTube data is also stored in the Safari cache. So, for those who are still having issues, this might be another step to try.

Again, thanks for your help, @HinderkienStam. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who’s not very familiar with technology.
