Where Does 2ndLine Store Numbers and Messages?
Where 2ndLine keeps second numbers, messages and call history on Android and iPhone for moves.
Last updated
2ndLine ties numbers and balances to its account while messages straddle local storage and backups. Signing in restores the numbers; history needs the in-app backup path to follow. Plan the move before wiping anything.
Run the backup before switching phones and verify the new install shows the same numbers. Media files copy by hand from shared storage. Reinstalls without a backup wipe local history for good, so export first.
Where 2ndLine stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.textmeinc.textme/files
Numbers and balances sync through the account. Package name can vary by build, so prefer in-app backup over file browsing. Verify numbers before wiping.
On My iPhone/2ndLine
Same account sync pattern on iPhone with local copies in the app container. Back up in-app before switching. Media moves through Files by hand.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move 2ndLine to a new phone?
Back up chats inside 2ndLine settings where offered, then sign in with the same account on the new phone. Numbers attach to the account, not the device. Media needs its own copy from shared storage.
Do my second numbers transfer automatically?
Account numbers and balances sync through sign in. Local message copies rebuild from the account where the feature exists. Without a backup, history stays on the old phone only.
