It’s shocking how much of your iPhone storage the New York Times app can use.
Recently I was going to apply a software update to my iPhone and I was told it didn’t have enough free storage space. I clicked on Settings > General > iPhone Storage and I saw that the app from the Times was using around 4 GB of my storage. I didn’t want to delete it to free up storage, so I opened the app instead.
On the top right of the app is an icon for My Account. Click on it, and then the gear icon on the top right. Then scroll down and click on Data Usage > Clear Cache.
It took a few moments, but when I went back to check my iPhone Storage I had just reclaimed over 3 GB.
After I did that, I was able to apply the software update. As for the app from the Times, I haven’t noticed any loss in how it performs.
The Times app is great, but it can be a storage hog. Luckily you can use the app to fix that.
