Snapshots
The
snapshots
directory contains screenshots of the most recent states of built-in applic-
ations at the time that they were suspended. This directory is located in
/private/var/
mobile/Library/Caches/Snapshots/
. Every time an application is suspended to
the background by pressing the
Home
button, a snapshot is taken to produce a nice shrink-
ing effect. Third-party applications also store the snapshot cache inside their application's
folder.
