THAT is the source for the bloat? Oh dear. Absolutely shambolic. It is embarrassing that iOS gives no way to just completely nuke an app's cache, short of reinstalling the app.


Some apps have a setting to clear data and I swear I’ve seen cached data in that before but I could be mistaken


I know they do, but the effectiveness of these "clear data" settings varies wildly and it's mildly infuriating. For instance, in my experience Telegram's works pretty well, X's not at all.


Oh absolutely, and a lot of apps don’t seem to offer the option at all anymore from what I can see.
