Last updated
Hospitality platform Couchsurfing runs one mobile package on Android. Private storage holds login session plus request cache. References and verifications display from servers, while the local folder keeps session state and cached photos.
An iOS build exists separately with an unverified ID, so only Android is stated here. Requests and references live server side. Fresh login restores everything after reinstall. Prolonged offline stretches may still show stale request states until the next sync.
