It's that time again Lemmings.

Don't forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently doesn not have a auto clear cache feature.

For those who don't know how, Android instructions are below

  1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
  2. Select Storage and Cache
  3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

I have Android 7, which doesn't have this feature ... do I need to clear the cache too? If so, does that mean I have to reinstall the app?

If you go into settings->applications->liftoff you should see it in there. Cache clearing has been around as long as I can remember

Thanks, I found it now, I was looking under the wrong part of the app's settings :-/

Cache clearing was a thing in 7

Settings -> Apps -> LiftOff -> Storage -> clear cache.

Thank you, I was looking at the wrong bit where it said permissions/storage. Turns out I had just shy of 8Gb there!
