Clearing Your Device Cache

If you’re seeing the wrong worship bulletin when you click a link, chances are there’s an old link stored in your device’s browser cache. (The cache remembers parts of pages, like images or links, to help them open faster during your next visit. Clearing them fixes certain problems, like loading or formatting issues on sites.)

Here’s how you can clear that.

iPhone/iPad – Safari

1. Go to Settings, tap Apps, then select Safari. Tap Advanced, then choose Website Data.
2. Tap Remove All Website Data. If this button is gray, there is either no data to clear, or you might need to check your web content restrictions in Screen Time.
3. Tap Remove Now. This clears data that’s used for tracking, and by websites to save login information for faster browsing.

iPhone/iPad – Chrome

Note: When you clear your cache and cookies, your browser might sign you out of your Google Account. To make sure you can sign back in, update your recovery phone number and email address.

In the Chrome app:

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open Chrome .
2. Tap More   Delete Browsing Data.
3. A popup window will appear where you can set a duration and select the browsing data you want to delete.
