In this tutorial, we’ll discuss how to clear any cached files in Twitter’sPeriscope app for iOS, which will help save that precious storage space on your device.
Flushing Periscope’s caches requires Periscope for iPhone version 1.9.2 or later.
1)Launch Periscope and tap the rightmost tab at the bottom.
2)Scroll halfway down, then tapSettings.
3)TapClear Cachebelow theStorageheading.
As a confirmation, a green banner flashes briefly at the screen top.
NOTE:If you don’t see the cache-clearing option, you’re probably running an older version of the app that doesn’t include that feature. The version number of your installed copy of the app is shown at the bottom of Periscope for iOS’s settings interface.
To check how much storage space the Periscope app itself and its stored data are taking up on your device, go toSettings → General → Storage & iCloud Usage, tapManage Storagebelow theStorageheading, then choosePeriscopefrom the list.
From there, you can also delete Periscope by tappingDelete App.
