After using WeChat for a period of time, you may notice that your iPhone's storage space is becoming increasingly tight, especially with the WeChat Documents & Data taking up several gigabytes of space. These files include cached data, chat history, images, videos, voice messages, files, and more. If not cleared in time, both the performance and storage space of your iPhone will be affected.
This guide will show you how to clear WeChat documents and data on your iPhone, helping you quickly free up storage space.
You can clear most of the cache, temporary files, and some chat data through WeChat's internal settings. This method is simple to use and will not affect your WeChat account or important data.
Here is how to clear WeChat documents and data on iPhone in the WeChat app:
Step 1. Open WeChat on your iPhone and go to the "Me" tab.
Step 2. Next, navigate to "Settings" > "General" > "Storage".
Step 3. Here, you will find "Cache", and you can also see its size.
Step 4. Now, tap the "Clear" button and tap on "OK" from the confirmation window. The cache has been cleared.
Step 5. To manage and delete media files (photos, videos, etc.) from your chats, tap the "Manage" button next to "Chat Histories".
Step 6. Select the chats with the files you want to remove, then tap the "three dots" (...) in the top-right corner.
Step 7. Tap "Clear" after selecting the specific media or choosing "Select All".
If your WeChat Documents & Data takes up a large amount of space, such as over 10 GB, the internal cleaning method in WeChat may not be sufficient. In this case, uninstalling and reinstalling WeChat is the most effective solution.
Here is how to delete WeChat documents and data on an iPhone by uninstalling the WeChat app:
Step 1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
Step 2. Go to "General" > "iPhone Storage". (iPhone storage is not loading?)
Step 3. Scroll down and find "WeChat".
Step 4. Tap "Delete App".
Step 5. Go to the App Store and reinstall WeChat.
