Cleaning Tivimate Cache and Data: Why and How Often?

Tivimate is one of the best IPTV players out there, but like any app, it can slow down or act up over time. If you’re noticing buffering, freezing, or playlist loading issues, clearing the app’s cache and data could be the fix you need.

In this guide, we’ll explain the difference between cache and data, when to clear each, and how often to do it to keep Tivimate running smoothly.

Cache vs. Data: What’s the Difference?

• Cache stores temporary files like images, guide data, and previews to help the app load faster. Over time, it builds up and can cause slowdowns.
• Data includes saved settings, playlists, favorites, login info, and customizations. Clearing data will reset the app completely.

🛑 Warning: Clearing data will erase all saved playlists, favorites, and settings.

When to Clear Tivimate Cache

Clear the cache if you notice:

• Buffering or playback glitches
• Slow channel switching
• Missing or stuck EPG data
• App freezing or crashing

Doing this weekly (if you stream often) can help maintain performance.

When to Clear Tivimate Data

Clear the data only when:

• Tivimate won’t open or keeps crashing
• You want to start fresh with a new playlist or provider
• Major bugs persist even after clearing cache

✨ Pro Tip: Back up your Tivimate settings before clearing data if you’re a Premium user.

How Often Should You Clear Cache?

• Regular users: Once a week
• Heavy streamers: Every 3–4 days
• Light users: Every 2–3 weeks

This keeps performance snappy and helps avoid bugs with playlists or EPG.

How to Back Up Before Clearing Data (Premium Only)
