Where Does Roomba Store Maps and History?
Where the iRobot Home app keeps maps and history on Android and iPhone, and what the cloud holds. See the folder table below.
Last updated
Roomba keeps smarts in the cloud. The robot cleans and docks with firmware onboard. Your account holds maps, zones, and history. The phone shows the combined view with cache.
Same login means same home. Exact cache names vary by release. Keep WiFi steady during swaps so the robot stays reachable. If maps thin out, check the account email first. Personal versus work Apple logins split homes more often than users expect, and the fix is simply signing into the right one. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.

Homes live in the Roomba container plus cloud. Sign in to restore maps. Phone reinstall never touches robot or cloud history.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Roomba maps to a new phone?
Maps, jobs, and favorites follow your iRobot account. Sign in on the new phone with the same login. The robot keeps firmware and a map backup. Check history dates before wiping, since a lookalike second account shows empty.
Does Roomba back up clean history?
Yes, in the cloud account for the covered window. The phone holds login and map cache. Clean history rebuilds after sign in. Export key floor plans from the app for records, since reinstalls do not export alone.
