Clear Cache in iOS: Deleting Application Data of Other Apps

Recently, I have came across many apps which "Clear Cache" on iPhone. They also specify that you may lose some saved data and temp files.

What I know is that Apple doesn't allows you to access data of other Apps neither directory. So, how they are cleaning cache data? Can anyone put some light on it?

Now when you clear the cache for the app, it only removes those temporary files, without affecting any of your personal data such as messages, pictures, accounts, files, etc. Generally, Android manages the cached data on its own. So you don't have to clear it manually.

They simply fill the free space on iPhone temporarily with random data leaving the system with no free space at all.

This forces iOS to clear all temp data, caches and iCloud Photos -if you enabled storage optimization- to clear space. So basically they are tricking the system to force it to clear temp and cached data.
