Where Does Badoo Store Matches and Messages?
Badoo keeps profiles and chats in your account with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.
Last updated
Badoo profiles live server-side. Photos, matches, messages, and credits attach to the account. The sandbox holds login session and cached profiles.
Premium and credit balances follow the login across devices. Live streaming gifts settle server-side identically everywhere. Both phones agree after login.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Badoo to a new phone?
Log in on the new phone. Matches, messages, and credits sync from the account. Verification repeats per device for badges.
How do I export Badoo data?
Request the data download from privacy settings. It covers profile, messages, and activity. The sandbox copy is a cache, not the record.
