⚡ Pro Tips for Peak Performance

Target the LIVE Cache If you mostly watch streams, the "LIVE Cache" is usually the biggest culprit. This holds all those heavy gift assets that can cause your phone to overheat.
Storage Buffer Try to keep at least 5GB of total storage free on your phone. Even with a clean app cache, a full hard drive will make video encoding crawl. (See more on storage issues).
Wipe After Updates Every time BIGO drops a new version, the old cache files can conflict with the new code. Make it a habit to clean up right after an update.
Check Background Apps While the cache is one part of the puzzle, having twenty other apps open will kill your stream quality. Force-stop unused apps before you go live.

FAQ

Will this log me out of my account?

Not at all. Clearing the cache only removes temporary assets. If you hit "Clear Data" in your phone settings, that's when you'll have to sign back in.

Does this delete my saved photos?

No, any photos you’ve posted to your profile or saved to your phone's gallery are safe. This only hits the "invisible" files.

How often should I do a cleanup?

If you’re a heavy user, once every three days is a solid plan. For casual viewers, once a week keeps things snappy.
