Where Does App Manager Store Backups?
App Manager keeps APK backups and profiles in its own shared folder, with app data and rules in private storage.
Last updated
App Manager splits user files from app state. APK backups, exported profiles, and batch lists sit in a shared folder any file manager browses. Blocker rules, settings, and private data stay in app storage.
Confirm the exact folder name on your build, since it shifts between releases. Root unlocks data backups for system apps; without it, APKs plus outbound sharing cover most moves. Export blocker rules separately, since the shared folder does not include them.
Where App Manager stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/AppManager
APK backups and profiles in the shared tree. Browse for the App Manager entry on your build rather than trusting a remembered name. Copy with the app closed.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager
Blocker rules and settings under the verified developer package. Export rules from inside the app before migrating, since folder copies skip them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move App Manager backups to a new phone?
Copy the App Manager folder to the new phone and let the app reindex it. APKs and profiles travel in the shared tree. App rules and tracker blocklists need their own export from inside the app.
Where are backed up APKs in App Manager?
In the shared App Manager folder, versioned by package and release. Share one APK out to confirm before wiping the source. System apps need root to back up their data, apks alone transfer fine.
