🧼 What Does Clearing Cache Do?
When you stream IP TV, the app stores temporary data. Over time, this cache gets bloated or corrupted — especially if you switch playlists or watch a lot of live content. Clearing it:
-
Speeds up the app
-
Fixes loading or crashing issues
-
Can stop buffering/freezing
-
Helps with login errors
🔧 How to Clear Cache for IPTV on Firestick
Follow these steps:
✅ Step 1: Go to Firestick Settings
From your Firestick home screen, scroll to the gear icon and select “Settings.”
✅ Step 2: Open “Applications”
Inside Settings, select “Applications”.
Then go to “Manage Installed Applications.”
✅ Step 3: Select Your IP TV App
Scroll through the list and find your app (e.g. IP TV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, XCIP TV, etc.).
Click on the app.
✅ Step 4: Clear Cache
Once inside the app’s settings, select:
➡️ “Clear Cache”
Then also hit:
➡️ “Force Stop”
(Do not press “Clear Data” unless you want to erase your login details and settings.)
🧪 Bonus Tip: Reboot Firestick
After clearing the cache, hold down the “Home” button, then select “Restart” to reboot your Firestick.
This helps flush any stuck processes and gets the IP TV app running fresh again.
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Don’t hit Clear Data unless your app is totally broken — it resets everything.
-
If you’re using a modded IPTV APK, clear cache regularly — those apps don’t handle memory well.
-
Still buffering after cache clear? Use a VPN or change your IP TV playlist.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a Lighter IPTV App
Apps like TiviMate and XCIPTV are better optimized than others. If IP TV Smarters keeps freezing, try switching.

If your current IP TV still lags even after cache clearing, maybe it’s time to try a more stable provider:
