Controlling Image Caching in Xamarin.Forms & .NET MAUI

Did you know that Xamarin.Forms & .NET MAUI automatically download and caches images for a full 24 hours?!?! There are awesome libraries out there for Images with Xamarin.Forms such as FFImageLoading and Nuke, but the built -in Image is super powerful and you have control over just how long images are cached. Today, I walk through how to setup and control Images in Xamarin.Forms and .NET MAUI and ensure that images get cached for the correct amount of time.
