You can use this feature on LINE versions aside from LINE for Chrome (sub device).

If your LINE app is running slowly, we recommend clearing the cached data temporarily stored in the LINE app.

When you use LINE regularly, cached data and chat history data start to build up, which can cause the app to run slowly.
