Go to settings > click on Apps > scroll down to the particular app that you want to clear its data > wait for it to calculate finish, then tap clear Data.

Don't clear Whatsapp Data cos it will ask you to input your phone number like you just downloaded it.
Thanks...

Oga, you have caused problems for me o. I went to clear data on whatsapp and I lost everything. Whatsapp is asking me to register all over again. Sometimes, it's not good to listen to you people.
Wow... I almost clicked on " clear data" on my WhatApp but chose to come back here to read comments or possibly ask the effect of such and then I saw your comment. Sorry dear

It's not like it will erase your WhatsApp chats, all it does is to reset the app to make you input your cell phone number again. Besides, I don't see any reason to clear WhatsApp data though.

But he said it, that clearing DATA will reset the App to initial installation stage, which means you are starting again. Why blame him, if you can't follow simple instructions, it probably you think it won't do what he said it will do. You have followership problem sir, not leadership problem.

I honestly didn't read it completely. As soon as I saw that it clears space, I went to test it. All the apps I cleared went back to factory settings.
Sorry, bros.

1st. Go to settings > under Personal > click on Location, then turn it off from there, you will see other options there on how to manage your GPS.

2nd option. Check if you've downloaded (Android Device Manager) that app forces GPS location ON at all time. Try to turn it OFF from there and I believe it will be fine.
thanks, I will try out

i don't know the kind of phone you're using, but from what you wrote I believe the problem is from your call settings( obviously). you should check around there. Or check if the contact dialer is not changing the international code as you dial the number.

if only ladies knew the importance of clearing cache - I have found tons of pornographic and unclad pictures from phones of a good number of ladies who brought their phones for repairs. The funny thing is no matter how you delete your pictures, a smaller copy of those pictures are stored as cache...
Bro, hw do u recover deleted pictures from cache huh please
