Facebook is a great social networking platform. Its mobile app allows you to connect with your friends and family members.

However, like the Android version of Facebook, the iPhone Facebook app can sometimes encounter problems. When the app runs into problems, you may not be able to use it at its full potential.

One great way to deal with Facebook iPhone app problems is to clear the app cache file. So, how do you clear the Facebook Cache on your iPhone? Let’s know about it in detail.
