How Do I Clear My Google Voice Cache?

Published in Google Voice App 2 mins read

To clear your Google Voice cache, follow these steps: you'll need to clear both the cache and data in your device's settings and, if issues persist, reinstall the app.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Clear Cache and Data:

    • Android:
      • Go to the Settings menu on your Android device.
      • Select Apps or Applications.
      • Find Google Voice in the list of apps.
      • Tap on Storage.
      • Tap on Clear Cache.
      • Tap on Clear Data (Note: Clearing data will remove your account information and may require you to sign in again).
  2. Reinstall the App (If Necessary):

    • Android:
    • iOS (iPhone/iPad):
      • Offloading the app or deleting and reinstalling may achieve a similar effect to clearing the cache. To offload: Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Google Voice > Offload App. This preserves documents and data. To delete, tap Delete App. Then reinstall from the App Store.

Why Clear Cache and Data?

Clearing the cache and data can resolve various issues with the Google Voice app, such as:

  • App malfunctions or crashes
  • Outdated information being displayed
  • Storage issues

Important Considerations:

  • Clearing data will remove your account information from the app. You will need to sign in again after clearing the data.
  • If clearing the cache and data doesn't resolve the issue, try restarting your device before reinstalling the app.
  • If you're experiencing persistent problems, check the Google Voice help resources or community forums for further assistance.
