Where Does Qwant Store Local Data?
Where the Qwant mobile browser keeps its private data on Android and iOS, and why no exact path is published.
Last updated
Qwant's mobile browser keeps everything inside its private app sandbox and publishes no file map, matching the privacy posture of its peers. On Android that means the package directory for the Qwant app, unreachable without root or a file manager with special access.
There is no desktop style profile to browse and no sync account holding a second copy. Clear history through the app's own controls or the system storage screen, since those are the only doors Qwant leaves open.
Where Qwant stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.qwant.liberty/
Private sandbox; root is required to browse it, and the exact layout may vary by version under scoped storage rules. For everyday use, clear data in app or through Android Settings > Apps > Qwant > Storage.
App sandbox container (no user-accessible path)
iOS sandboxes Qwant with no browsable file path and the container ID varies per install. Manage it through the app's controls or iOS Settings > Qwant.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Qwant profile folder?
There is none published. Qwant keeps data in its private sandbox with no documented filenames, so use the in-app clearing controls instead of hunting files.
Does Qwant sync my data to an account?
No. The mobile browser holds data locally in its sandbox only, which is why clearing app data is genuinely destructive here.
