Over time, the Binance App accumulates cache data including candlestick chart data, image resources, and temporary files. Excessive cache can cause the app to slow down or lag, so clearing it periodically is a good habit.
Clearing Cache on Android
Android provides a built-in option to clear individual app caches. Here's how:
- Open your phone's "Settings"
- Go to "App Management" or "Apps & Notifications"
- Find "Binance" in the list and tap it
- Tap "Storage" or "Storage & Cache"
- Tap "Clear Cache"
Pay attention to the two buttons here: "Clear Cache" only deletes temporary data — your login status and preferences remain intact. "Clear Data" deletes all local data including your login state, essentially resetting the app to a freshly installed state — you usually don't need to tap this one.
Clearing Cache on iOS
iPhone doesn't have a dedicated option to clear cache for individual apps, but there are two alternatives:
Method 1: Offload the App (keeps data) Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Find Binance → Tap "Offload App." This removes the app and its cache but retains your login credentials. After reinstalling from the App Store, most of your settings will still be there.
Method 2: Delete and reinstall Long-press the app icon to delete it, then download Binance App and reinstall. This is more thorough but requires you to log in again.
What Gets Affected by Clearing Cache
After clearing the cache, you may notice:
- Certain pages load slightly slower the first time (because data needs to be re-downloaded)
- Previously loaded candlestick charts need to reload
- Watchlists, personal settings, and favorites won't be lost (these are stored server-side)
Your account assets, trading history, and security settings are all stored on Binance's servers — clearing the cache has zero impact on them.
When Should You Clear the Cache
You don't need to do this too often. Clear the cache when: the app becomes noticeably slower or laggy, crash frequency increases, pages display abnormally (e.g., images fail to load), or your phone is running low on storage. Once every one to two months is generally sufficient.
