Add option to force reload of certain images.

Is there any way to force a specific uri to be removed from the cache (so that it would be necessarily fetch the next time an image source point to this uri)?
This is because I have a user avatar that always point to the same url for a specific user so I want to be able to clean the cache for this avatar picture each time the user actually change its avatar.

Ideally you'd use an immutable url for avatars.

• Lookup user object that has an immutable avatar url property.
• Display using FastImage

Alternatively:

• Use a non-immutable avatar url.
• Use Image.

Do I need react-native-fast-image for Images loaded from File System does it Improve the performance even for downloaded Images? or it is only helpful for Images loading from web ?

No.
It's just a way to avoid having to download the images every time. Saving them in cache would just store them a second time on the device and waste storage. Loading from the device is always much faster than from web, no matter where it's saved.
