Where Does leboncoin Store Ads and Messages?
leboncoin keeps ads, messages, and favorites on its servers with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.
Last updated
leboncoin is fully server-side across marketplace, real estate, autos, and jobs. Ads, favorites, and messages attach to the account. The sandbox holds login session and cached images.
Reinstalls change nothing after login. Saved searches and alerts resume from the server. Photo originals live in the gallery until upload, which is the copy worth keeping.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move leboncoin to a new phone?
Log in on the new phone. Active ads, conversations, and saved searches sync from the account. Ad photos come from the gallery, so keep those outside the old app.
How do I save leboncoin ad photos?
Save them from the ad while it runs. Expired ads take their images with them. The sandbox held thumbnails only, never the originals.
