Enable Offline Access and Offline Edit for the Salesforce Mobile
App
With just a few clicks, you can protect your Salesforce mobile app users against the
vagaries of mobile connectivity. You can enable two levels of offline access: caching frequently
accessed records, so users can view data while offline, and Offline Edit, so users can create,
edit, and delete records while offline. Offline access is available in Salesforce for Android and
iOS only.

Tip We strongly recommend leaving Enable caching in Salesforce for Android
and iOS enabled. In addition to making cached data available offline, this setting
also enables faster viewing of previously accessed records and better overall performance. If
you disable caching, Salesforce for Android and Salesforce for iOS store only the minimum data
required to maintain a session. This can impact performance because the app has to refresh
record details and feed items every time they’re viewed.
