Where Does the meteoblue App Store Data?

meteoblue keeps favorites and meteogram cache in private storage on Android and iOS under distinct IDs.

Last updated

Swiss weather service meteoblue runs platform specific IDs with a droid package on Android. The suffix differs on iOS for the same service. Private storage holds places and favorites on both systems for the active account. It also holds meteogram cache tied to saved places on the device.

Point forecasts and rain radar come from servers and load on demand in the app. Local data is favorites plus tiles for saved places. Saved lists stay on the old device and do not move alone. Fresh login restores everything where the same account is signed in after reinstall.

Frequently asked questions

Do meteoblue favorites transfer phones?

Log into the same account where the favorites were first saved, otherwise favorites stay local on the old device. Re add places on the new phone after login. Point forecasts come from servers regardless.

Why do meteoblue IDs differ?

Android uses com.meteoblue.droid while iOS uses a com.meteoblue.meteoblue-weather twin. Same service, different suffix per platform. Confirm in system app info.
