How can I force a hard reload in Chrome for Android

Question

In Chrome for desktop I have options in the dev tools to disable cache completely when dev tools are opened and I have the options to manually do a hard reload when long clickin

Answer 1

I found a solution that works, but it's ugly.

• Connect the Android device to your PC with a USB cable and open Chrome on your desktop.
• Right-click anywhere on a page and select "Inspect".

• Click the three-dot menu and select "Remote devices" under the "More tools" menu:

• In the panel that opens, select your device and then the "Inspect" button next to the name of the tab on your phone that needs to be refreshed:

• In the window that opens, click the "Network" tab and check the "Disable cache" checkbox:

• Reload the page on your phone or using the reload button in the DevTools window.

Note: if your phone doesn't appear in the device list:

• make sure the USB connection is using File Transfer mode and isn't simply charging
• try restarting ADB or run adb devices to see if the device is being detected
