Where Does Antox Store Tox Profiles on Android?
Where Antox keeps Tox profiles, messages and files on Android, and how to export the profile.
Last updated
Antox keeps its Tox profile in app private storage: keys, contacts and message history together in one encrypted store. Scoped storage hides it from file browsers, so there is no stable absolute path to memorize.
Use the in-app profile export for moves. It writes a portable .tox file you can carry across. Downloads land in shared storage, but history only travels with root access or the export. Back up before uninstalling; the store wipes with the app.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Antox to a new phone?
Use Settings to export the .tox profile file, then move that file plus any downloads off the phone. The export holds keys and contacts; messages need root level access. Import the file on the new phone before adding friends again.
Is my Antox profile safe in backups?
The profile holds your Tox ID keys, so anyone with the file owns the identity. Antox never uploads it anywhere; exports only happen through the file you save. Guard backups like passwords.
