Where Does the Focus Online App Store Data?
Focus Online keeps articles and favorites in private storage on Android and iOS. Burda news magazine, not Firefox Focus.
Last updated
News magazine Focus Online runs a cellular platform package on Android with a matching iOS build. Private storage holds favorites plus article cache. The cellular string hides the brand name from plain view.
Articles come from servers and stay there. Device searches for focus miss the folder because of that naming. Fresh login restores favorites where signed in after reinstall. Favorites stay local unless an account links them across devices. Topic lists need manual rebuild on the new phone where no account was used.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Firefox Focus?
This post covers de.cellular.focus, the Burda news magazine. Firefox Focus is a Mozilla browser with its own data post on this site. Check the publisher before following guides.
Do Focus favorites transfer phones?
Log into the same account where used; otherwise favorites stay local on the old phone. Re add topics on the new phone after sign in. Articles come from servers regardless, so only favorites need attention.
