Quick Guide to Clearing Your Snapchat Cache

This option is under the heading Account Actions towards the end of your Settings menu.
6
Tap Clear to confirm. This will permanently delete all image data Snapchat stores on your device.
- This option does not delete your conversations, stories, or saved chats. Clearing browser cache is similar to deleting your browser history and cookies.
8
Tap Clear to confirm. This will delete all image data that Snapchat stores for your Snap Memories on your device.
- This option does not delete your memories. When you view a memory, your device stores some data for easier and faster access to the image file. Clearing Memories Cache will only delete this data; you will not lose any of your memories.
Snapchat has to restart after clearing memories cache.
