Where Does the KATWARN App Store Data?
KATWARN keeps login alert subscriptions and places in private storage under its CombiRisk package builds.
Last updated
KATWARN is the German civil protection warning app built with Fraunhofer FOKUS and run by CombiRisk. Alert areas and push state sit in private storage. Warnings themselves arrive via push and cell channels. Local data is subscription state, not the alert feed. That split explains empty restores.
Old package strings still float around guides. The live Play listing uses the combirisk ID. Re subscribe after reinstall. Keep location permission on for local alerts. Check the area list inside the app after login to confirm. Clearing the folder drops local subscriptions.
