Where Does the PayByPhone App Store Data?
PayByPhone keeps parking session and zone cache in private local storage on Android and iOS under distinct IDs.
Last updated
PayByPhone is a parking app with platform specific IDs and a verrus twin on iOS. Private storage holds the login session on the device. It also holds parking cache and zone data for daily use. The cache supports sessions between server contacts. The store stays private to the app and holds session data.
Plates and sessions live server side with the account. Timers bill server side, so end running sessions before switching phones. Local data is session plus zone cache. Each install reads only its own area. A fresh login restores everything after reinstall. The account holds the plates.
Where PayByPhone stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.paybyphone

Frequently asked questions
Does PayByPhone transfer phones?
Log into the same PayByPhone account on the new phone. Plates sync from servers to the account. Local data still holds session and zone cache. That local part does not move by itself. A fresh login restores the account on the new device.
Why do PayByPhone IDs differ?
Android uses com.paybyphone while iOS uses a com.verrus.paybyphone twin. It is the same service with different vendor strings. Both entries point to the same service. Confirm the exact string in system app info for the device.
