Where Does the FAZ App Store Data?
FAZ news keeps edition cache in private app storage on Android and iOS. Kiosk and Dertag stay separate apps.
Last updated
Frankfurter Allgemeine runs three apps with separate IDs: main news, Kiosk editions and Dertag. The main build runs a net.faz package on Android with a matching iOS bundle. Private storage holds the session plus edition downloads for the main build. Kiosk and Dertag keep their own separate storage.
Editions live server side with the subscription. Local data holds session and downloads only. A fresh login restores everything after reinstall. Archive copies return with the account. Do not copy one profile into the other.

Frequently asked questions
Kiosk vs Dertag vs main app?
Install the main FAZ build at net.faz.FAZ for news. Kiosk and Dertag use separate IDs with separate data. Same subscription works across them. Reinstall the main build and sign in again to restore edition access.
Do FAZ editions transfer phones?
Log into the same FAZ account on the new phone. Editions re download from the archive after login. Local data holds only the session and the edition cache. Reinstall the app and sign in again to restore downloads.
