Where Does Siskin IM Store Data on iPhone?
Where Siskin IM keeps chats and media on iPhone, and how to export files without a browsable folder.
Last updated
Siskin IM lives in the standard iOS sandbox. Its data sits under Library Application Support inside a container with a random ID. That path changes per install and never appears in the Files app.
There is no export folder to copy by hand. Practical backup means per message sharing to Files plus server side history sync. Treat logout as destructive for local media unless those files are already saved out. Server history resync covers text well, while attachments need that manual step first. Export first.
Where Siskin IM stores this, by platform
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/[UUID]/Library/Application Support
Sandboxed container with a random per install ID that changes on reinstall. Not browsable in Files. Export media per message through Share, manage cache under Settings Media.
Frequently asked questions
Can I browse Siskin files in the Files app?
No. The container is sandboxed with a random ID per install and stays invisible in Files. Save items one by one through the message Share sheet, or use a full encrypted Finder backup to carry the container across.
How do I move Siskin history to a new iPhone?
Re login on the new phone and let the server resend history through message archive management. Media needs manual export first since archive sync covers text better than attachments. Save important files before wiping the old phone.
