Where Does Arc Search Store Browsing Data on Mobile?
Arc Search keeps history, spaces, and logins in private app storage synced to your Arc account, with downloads in shared folders.
Last updated
Arc Search is the mobile companion to Arc, and it stores things the mobile way. Browsing history, spaces, and saved logins sit in private app storage and sync through your Arc account. Files you download land in shared storage you can browse.
That split decides every fix. Sync problems mean checking the Arc account and network. Missing files mean checking Downloads in the Files app, since the browser never keeps a second copy. Clearing cache from settings preserves synced data while freeing space.
Where Arc Search stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Download
Downloads land here (exact subfolder varies by version). History, spaces, and logins stay in private storage plus Arc account sync; clear them from in-app settings.
On My iPhone/Arc Search (downloads)
Downloads surface in the Files app. Browsing data is private to the app with iCloud backup; spaces and logins follow the Arc account across devices.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Arc Search to a new phone?
Sign in to the same Arc account on the new phone; spaces, history, and logins sync down. Downloads and offline files need a manual copy through Files or Drive.
How do I clear Arc Search cache without losing spaces?
Use the in-app settings to clear browsing data and cache. Synced spaces and logins tied to your Arc account survive; local downloads do not unless copied out.
