For OnePlus 3T owners, many of the Android problems that you may face can easily be solved using two different troubleshooting solutions, that only take a few minutes to complete.

What is the cache and what does it do?
First, it’s important to to know what cache is and why should clear it on your OnePlus 3T smartphone. The OnePlus 3T has two different types of cache. The first is the app cache and the other is system cache. All the apps on the OnePlus 3T has its own cache installed on the app. This cache allows for the temporary data to be stored for better help when switching between apps. While, the system cache on the OnePlus 3T does the same thing, but for the Android software instead of each individual app. That’s why when there are issues with apps crashing or freezing, it’s best to clear the system cache wipe to help fix this issue.
 
How to clear the app cache on the OnePlus 3T
For problems that are just happening on a specific app, it’s best to first try to clear the app cache. You can clear the app cache with these instructions:

3. Select the app you want to clear the cache for
4. After you’ve selected the app, look for the app info screen
5. Select on Clear Cache
6. To clear the app cache for all apps, go to Settings > Storage
7. Select Cached Data to clear all app caches simultaneously

 
Don’t select Clear Data unless you want to lose all the information that app stores, like your user name, passwords, game progress, preferences, settings and so on.
 
What to do when clearing the app cache doesn’t help
After you have cleared the cache of individual apps and the OnePlus 3T problem is still happening, the next best option is to uninstall the app and reboot the device. It’s important to note that before you reset the OnePlus 3T, you should back up all data to prevent anything from being lost during the reboot process. After rebooting the OnePlus 3T, and the problem is still happening, then it’s suggested that you perform a system cache wipe, also known as clearing the cache partition on the OnePlus 3T.
