You all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Kyng Kamryn thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Gary, I love ya. No offense to the other dudes on this team but so many tech enthusiasts make videos that look and sound and say more or less the same thing, but you stand out in the best possible way. Keep this up forever.
Romeo Diyong it erases your data from that app, for instance, clearing data on the facebook app will make you log in again when you open it again, like a fresh install
Romeo Diyong clear cache shouldn't affect facebook. Since most of the Cached data is used for loading pictures or posts you viewed before faster. It won't affect Facebook from working properly.
Great job, Gary. It takes talent to be able to explain things in a way that those who know nothing can understand and those who know a lot can still get something out of it. If you aren't a teacher, you should be one.
This video seems to be aimed at people who have come to Android from Apple, as this is very simple common knowledge to most Android folks! lol Also, it is exactly the same as on Windows you open Task Manager and click 'end task and close'. Common sense and everyone knows it (unless you use Apple products...)
You should be a News reporter. When you tell something it's like if you said, your house is on fire, and I calmly say, Oh well what do I do to put it out. Love the voice.
This is the best information collective for Android explained the simplest and most understandable way!! I just say Gary should publish his own informative book..I would buy it!!
This is AWESOME!! So glad I found you! No one else has explained anything so clearly so it's easy to comprehend! I'm pretty smart, but I'm only minimally techy. So this makes perfect sense without the usual condescending arrogance or unnecessary blather. Can I just CALL you when I have a question?!! :) :) I recently did something and when I was done it said, "All 352 apps are safe." THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO??!!! I thought I had 30 or 40!! Maybe they should have asked if I have a family before they force in the Family app...and so on and so on...
Thank heavens I found you, at last someone who doesn't speak gobbely good! I'm actually able to understand what you are saying without having to listen to a load of tosh. Thanks for sharing👍
hey Gary so is it advisable to clear cache frequently... does this in any way hampers OS of phone... I usually do this for my FB, chorme and snapchat app as they store lot of data in cache...!!!!
After watching this video and the last video, I wouldn't mind learning a bit about how memory leaks occur. Not sure if there's enough to talk about for a full video though.
Why when i delete an app are stil some files in internal memory? I first force stop,delete data and after that i uninstall the app itself. Can you explain? Thank you for your amaizing videos.
Decebal Trandafir all apps that have storage permission can write and read from /sdcard folder (not actually on a SD card, it is just named this way for historical reasons). all files that you can see through file explorer apps are in fact within this folder, provided you are not rooted. this folder is like a public forum or dust bin for apps. all of them can read and write everything there, so apps tend to litter there and it is impossible for them to take care of it when they are uninstalled. you can simply delete all the files you can see, provided that you back up all the important files like pictures or downloaded music.
Okay so i have a rpg game called transformers earth wars its kind of like clash of clans you have a base and everything and it saves automatically for you. It keeps saying not responding i need to know if clear cache will possibly have to make me start over and i dont want to. Please someone tell me ASAP
I nee d help my game app called Jurassic Park Builder has a problem. Some words or letters jn the game is turning into color white and it shape like a box? Iam scared if I clear cache it may delete all the memory of the game
Will the force stop delete the entire data the app? Because I have an app that's not working that had a loading screen that says starting, it's been like that for more than a day.
What about if the SETTINGS are misbehaving , like whenever I try to give an app permissions of "display over other apps" everything crashes and the settings tell me "settings keep stopping" that's it. And not just the display over other apps even other stuff like install unknown apps and it really annoys me but I'm not sure about what's gonna happen when I force stop the settings so that's why
cs entry is stoped in my tablet when I system update it. I have stored many data in cs entry if I do clear chase the apps my saved data will be delated or not?
Question - Till Android M, tapping the "Clear cache" button on any app's info screen used to leave behind some amount of cache. For example, if it had 2 MB cache, after tapping "Clear cache", it would go down to 200 KB or something. But since Android N, the entire cache gets nuked to 0. Did anyone else notice this? Why is it so?
I didn't learn anything new :'(... sadly... because I really would like to learn about the following questions: What are the differences between swiping the app away from the list of the recent used apps and completely closing it in the settings? What happens if an app has a close button and I use it? Are there differences?
michawilke Swiping just closes it in the foreground but stopping it does that completely... Fully shuts it down vs running as a background process (still running)
so when clean master empty some space on my phone by deleting cashe files , does that mean it's a waste of time since the apps will download the cashe files again as i open them ???
Hi Gary first of all thanks for the immediate reply but, I am slightly confused about caches. So, when you mentioned "files owned by the app" did you mean some kind of application-level caching that is provided for each app by android, not the CPU cache right ? Also, can an android app have its own cache [independent of the CPU L1, L2 caches] ? Also, what is the difference between force-stopping an app and exiting it normally ?
Goutham Kolluru You are confusing CPU caches (L1, L2 etc) and the apps cache of files which is managed by the app itself. This video is about the latter.
My clear cache button is not working. I was trying to clear it because my Google is sending me the message “Unfortunately Google has stopped”. Pushing the force stop button didn’t do anything. And again, when I push clear cache it dos the same thing as when I push the Google search bar, nothing, it won’t respond at all. Even in settings (the settings button wasn’t responding), I had to drag it up to the top of the screen to apps in Order to access the cache button which doesn’t respond, & the force stop which when I push it, it does push and it goes backs to the apps screen without correcting anything. Can you help ?
hello, want to ask, if i force stop app , is it really free my ram ? or its useless bcs they automatic restart again..i have 4gb ram and need 2 gb to play some game
I live in a poor reception area (data). Often times (depending on background apps that are open) I'll have to END ALL processes just to restore mobile data. It drives me crazy.
Gary sims is literally the only reason I still haven't unsubscribed from android authority. So educational and informative
corey pilgram same
When Gary says, "Let me explain", you can just feel the shit is getting real
Redowan Nafi Vsause vibes
lol, my TH-cam app wasn't working so I force stoped it and deleted the cache, opened the app again and this video was on top of my feed... destiny
Tony Montalvo Your last watched videos are sometimes at the top.
You tube saves what you are doing on the cloud. That's how it recovered.
Lol
Gary , you are the backbone of Android Authority .
Gary in Android Autrority feels like Gandalf in the fellowship of the ring.

+LeBeautiful he has sim in his name what did you think
I have learned so much from Jayce and Gary legit thank these fellas for everything they do
Force Stop is kind of like when you close an app on Windows using Task Manager
Sam Adekunle so is it ok to use like will it slow it down?
The passionate Procrastinator Yeah it's fine, as long as you know what you're doing.
Sam Adekunle hi sir.please convince me its safe to force stop.im still making my decision.
The passionate Procrastinator hi so have you already do the force stop??any changes??
Thumbs up even before the video even started... ITS GARY!!!
Todd Moore amen
Gary, I love ya. No offense to the other dudes on this team but so many tech enthusiasts make videos that look and sound and say more or less the same thing, but you stand out in the best possible way. Keep this up forever.
You need to tell people that "Clear Cache" is ok but that they should normally stay away from "Clear Data".
preben nielsen hi sir please explain to me about it.im interested.
Romeo Diyong it erases your data from that app, for instance, clearing data on the facebook app will make you log in again when you open it again, like a fresh install
CookyStuff well noted..but does it has bad effect on the apps for example facebook?..
Romeo Diyong clear cache shouldn't affect facebook. Since most of the Cached data is used for loading pictures or posts you viewed before faster. It won't affect Facebook from working properly.
bill wang well noted thanks sir

Gary Sims you are Android guru.
I love your videos and the way you explain everything. Everything seems so simple and easy when you talk about it.
I love these videos. Really educational and helpful for people who don't know exactly what these things are.
God bless you sir! So informative!
I like this guy very very out the box information thank you great videos!
Still find it funny how people found Gary boring when he first started a android authority but then realised that he's so knowledgeable.
:-)
You could have included clear Data as well.Great video Gary
Very informative! I did that all the time, but little did I know why. Thank you!
This is the best information collective for Android explained the simplest and most understandable way!! I just say Gary should publish his own informative book..I would buy it!!

Gary man I really love all these video which explain all make more 👌👌👌👌👌 seriously quality is good .... keep up good work 😊😊😊😊
Does killing a process clear the cache also ? What's the need for "clear cache" after "force stop" ?
No killing the process just removing the current running copy of the app from memory. It doesn't change any of the files owned by the app.
Hi Gary first of all thanks for the immediate reply but,
