OnePlus: Clear App Cache for a Misbehaving App

When a OnePlus app starts crashing, freezing, or showing outdated content, leftover cache files are often the cause. Temporary data can pile up and overlap over time, leading to glitches that have nothing to do with your actual settings or account. Clearing the cache resets these files without touching your personal data.

Clear App Cache auf OnePlus

Apps on OxygenOS store temporary files to load faster and remember your last actions. Over time these cache files can overlap or become corrupted, which shows up as crashes, frozen screens, or content that will not update.

Clearing the cache removes only this temporary data. Your login, saved settings, and personal files inside the app stay untouched, which makes this fix safe to try before reinstalling anything.

How to clear the cache

Go to Open the SettingsTap on Apps & notificationsTap on See all appsChoose an appTap on Storage & cacheTap on Clear cache.

Restart the app afterward and check if the issue is gone. If the same problem returns right away, the cause is likely not the cache but a corrupted app setting or an outdated app version.

In that case, clearing the app data or updating the app through the store usually helps more than repeating the cache clear. Keep in mind that clearing data (as opposed to cache) will log you out and reset in-app preferences, so use that step only if clearing the cache alone does not solve the problem.

Frequently asked questions
