The following steps will help you clear the cache on your mobile Android device. Clearing a mobile browser's cache often resolves unusual behavior on a webpage and forces the browser to pull the most up-to-date information from the site.

There are two different ways you can clear your cache on an Android device. One method clears the cache accrued through a general web browser, and the second relates specifically to the Google Chrome web browser. 

Keep in mind the following steps may differ, depending on your Android device.

Clearing the Cache (standard Android browser)

Navigate to the Apps section on your device and click the Settings option (or select Settings directly from your home screen, if applicable.)

Then, locate the Maintenance section of your Settings.
