Where Does OpenBoard Store Dictionaries on Android?
Where OpenBoard keeps dictionaries, layouts and settings on Android for backup and full moves.
Last updated
OpenBoard keeps dictionaries, layouts and themes in app private storage on Android. There is no account and no cloud; device backup is the only mover on every phone.
Learned words accumulate slowly, which makes them the valuable half. Layouts rebuild fast by comparison. Back up before ROM flashes and keyboard swaps, since both wipe private data without warning. Verify the restore by typing a rare word.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move OpenBoard dictionaries to a new phone?
Copy the app data with device backup, then verify dictionaries on the new phone. Word lists travel in private storage. Reinstalls without a backup reset learned words.
Does OpenBoard sync settings anywhere?
OpenBoard settings live in app private storage with no account sync. System backup carries them when enabled. Without backup, themes and layouts need rebuilding by hand.
