The iPhone and I believe also the Android app cache all your pictures from your observations (in addition to saving the photos on your photo roll). For casual users that’s no big deal but for ‘power users’ the app can quickly swell to several gigabites in size. Currently the only way to clear the ca…

Use the settings cog in the upper right corner. When you open it, you should see an option to Sign Out.

For what little it might be worth, I am seeing 726 Mb of user data and 346 Mb of cache on a Motorola Moto G8 Power 2020 running iNaturalist 1.23.14 on Android 11.

I want to emphasize that the last two changes both were an improvement and it is good they are released recently/yesterday. Thanks they are useful. I have the idea that the trigger to start cleaning does not fire. I updated to a new version 1.23.20 (509) today and the new version brings it back to 6…

@optilete or anyone else, are you still seeing disk usage exceeding 1 GB?

I recently reinstalled the app on Android, because my phone said the app (version 1.23.4) was using 14.07 GB of space. Now with version 1.24 space use is back to normal.
