Instagram has been deleting some of my DM messages, and I looked around for help. Many have said to clear "Temporary Cache Partitions". My question is, will doing that erase any data on apps like Instagram, Twitter, or any other app?
No, that's why they're called temporary. It's data that the app needed for a moment and didn't clear. (Clearing it probably won't fix the problem, though. IG isn't deleting your DMs because of something in its cache.)
