Why clear Swann Security app cache
- Refresh the app and get rid of all unnecessary info within it.
- Free up storage space (in your phone). (Note: This does not delete recordings stored in the camera nor the cloud.)
- Reset an app to a default state if it has become problematic, buggy, or otherwise disruptive, especially for app playback concerns.
The cache contains information like clips viewed, activity, and history. Clearing cache will refresh the view of all settings in the app.
