Where Does Flightradar24 Store Alerts and History?
Where the Flightradar24 app keeps alerts and history on Android and iPhone, and what the account holds.
Last updated
Flightradar24 streams aircraft from the shared network cloud. Your account holds alerts, fleets, and history. The phone caches maps and live tracks.
Same login means same skies. Free versus Gold splits features more than storage. Exact cache names shift with releases. For spotting days, open target flights before leaving signal. Screenshots of registrations help, since tail numbers recycle across operators and confuse later searches. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Flightradar24 alerts to a new phone?
Sign in on the new phone and alerts return from the account. Phone holds login and map cache only. Fleet lists read from cloud. Check the profile before wiping, since a second email shows empty and hides premium layers.
Does Flightradar24 back up my history?
Yes, in the cloud account for the covered window. The phone holds a working copy plus cached tracks. History rebuilds after sign in. Export CSVs from the web for records, since the phone never holds the master log alone.
