This function or trick is one of the main attractions that Xiaomi models have and that other models should copy because it helps improve the performance of the phone and is extremely practical. We tell you what it consists of, how it is activated and why it is so interesting.
We are talking about the possibility of clearing the cache when locking the mobile, a key function in some smartphones and that cheaper models with low performance will especially appreciate because it will help them make better use of their potential by preventing them from being blocked, working incorrectly or don’t go as they should.
If you think that the battery of your mobile phone does not last long or that its performance is not what it should, this Xiaomi function can help you if you have a model of this brand.
What does this Xiaomi ‘trick’ consist of?
This function that you can activate on your mobile consists of the system deleting the cache of your mobile after having blocked it , after a few minutes. In this way, it will be deleted if you spend this time without using the smartphone, otherwise it will not be done. You can play with that too if you want it to be done or not by controlling the times.
This will allow you to gain space on your device and thus increase its performance. In mobiles where this is more than enough, it may be enough to clear the cache of your Xiaomi from time to time in the apps that consume the most or in all of them, however, if the performance of your mobile is low, it is a very practical function.
It will be good for you to free your mobile from temporary files or what is consuming resources without being necessary, that is why this function is so interesting, and it is also automatic so that you do not neglect yourself and forget to do it frequently.
How to activate automatic cache clearing?
If you want to clear the cache automatically when you lock your Xiaomi phone , you can do it in the following way, taking into account that in your specific model it may vary slightly, but the steps will not vary too much:
- Go to your mobile settings
- Click on the Battery option
- There you will see a panel where you will control different functions in its Battery Saver and Battery menus
- Navigate to Settings, at the top right of the screen in the image of a nut
- There you will find the option ‘Clear cache when device is locked’
- click on it
- Choose how long you want it to be blocked before deleting it: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or never
Once you have done everything, it is ready and it will start to clear the cache when this blocked time passes, although it is best to restart your mobile so that the changes are applied correctly.
You can come back whenever you want by following the same steps to disable this feature or change the timeout . The most recommended is 10 minutes as it is a balanced interval between all the available periods.
