Device storage is a premium commodity. It would be great to see cache clearing and perhaps setting size limits.

    Yeh I don’t see this on my Android device have only around 50mb cached and even that is on the upper end of what I have seen before. 1+gigs seems very extreme

      The lowest I’ve seen it in iOS is 350MB. Which still seems insanely large for an app that’s about 30MB. Yes it’s gotta cache things but what community is posting 100MB gifs 12 times a day??

      Edit: Turns out it’s that high because iOS lumps web apps in with Safari wen cache (apparently).

    It’s not just you Voyager users. I left Liftoff to try Sync because it had the same problem accumulating too much cache.

    Device storage is a premium commodity

    I was about to make fun of you for that, turns out I slipped into a different timeline or something. I was 100% certain Apple added a spot for microSD cards in iPhone SIM trays several years ago so they could sell special white ones and pretend shipping their phones with 32 GiB of device storage was helping to save the environment. Too many lead paint chips I guess. Device storage is NOT a premium commodity unless it’s enforced that way, you can get 1TB microSD cards for $95 now.
