Reminder to clear your Liftoff cache (self.liftoff)

It's that time again Lemmings.

Don't forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently doesn not have a auto clear cache feature.

For those who don't know how, Android instructions are below

  1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
  2. Select Storage and Cache
  3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

I'm pretty technologically illiterate. Do most apps have an auto cache clear feature? Will this eventually be added to liftoff? What happens if I don't clear the cache, does it just slow things down?

Most should have a auto cache clear, not sure why Liftoff doesn't. I hope it does get added. If you don't clear your cache your phone may appear to function slower but it doesn't actually,
What you will see is when installing apps it the playstore will say not enough space or you may not be ablee to take pictures because there is no space free to store the picture.
