How do you refresh the cache on the official android Home Assistant mobile app? When I modify a dashboard (e.g. change an image, etc) I noticed some of the data is cached and not refreshed. In a browser I can force refresh but I don’t see an option on the android mobile app. I know I’m missing something major and being stupid… pls help! 
Drag down and release refreshes the page, but it is unclear to me if the cache is cleared.
In iOS Companion app there is a dedicated button to reset a Frontend cache in Settings.
Swiping down only refreshing a page w/o resetting a cache.
Also, for yaml-mode dashboards it is needed to select “refresh” button to rebuild a page (like on a desktop browser).
I’m looking for this on the android app but I do not see the setting anywhere.
Does anyone on android know if it exists for that platform?
TBH I cannot even do that. Dragging down doesn’t do anything. On most apps this does refresh things but on the Home Assistant app.
I think you just need to clear the apps cache?
oh i see, damn that’s kind of a nuclear option
so it’ll lose my credentials and will need to relogin i guess?
it’s kind of crazy there isn’t a button to do that though maybe it’s just not possible on android
From memory, I don’t think you need to login again or anything - sensor configuration etc remains. To be clear I am referring to clearing “cache”, not “data”. Clearing data would, I expect, send you back to effectively a fresh install.
