Where Does PersonalDNSFilter Store Data on Android?
PersonalDNSFilter keeps filter lists and settings in app-private storage on Android, managed in the app.
Last updated
PersonalDNSFilter stores its block lists and preferences in app-private storage on Android. There is no stable shared-folder path to quote. The lists you subscribe to inside the app are the source of truth.
Manage everything through the app UI. Add filter URLs there, toggle lists there, and export backups there. Direct browsing of Android data folders needs root and varies by version, so the export file is the portable copy.
Where PersonalDNSFilter stores this, by platform
App-private storage (managed in-app, backup via export)
Lists and settings live in private storage. Add subscriptions in the app UI. Use in-app backup or export for migration. Exact on-disk paths vary by Android version.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move PersonalDNSFilter to a new phone?
Use the in-app backup or export option to write lists and settings to a file you control. Copy that file off the device. Reimport it on the new phone instead of copying private app folders.
Can I edit filter lists by hand?
Add list URLs inside the app and let it download them. The app stores the parsed rules privately. Manual file edits under Android data need root and break on updates.
