Where Does Simple Dialer Store Favorites on Android?
Where Simple Dialer keeps favorites and settings on Android, and what needs no file backup.
Last updated
Simple Dialer keeps favorites and dialer settings in app private storage on Android. Call history lives in system logs apart from the app on every phone you use.
System backup carries logs while app backup carries favorites. This is the legacy Simple suite dialer, unrelated to the Fossify Phone fork despite shared ancestry. Reinstalls without a backup wipe speed dials, so verify favorites before wiping.
