Where Does Skred Store Chats and Keys?
Skred keeps encrypted chats and keys in private app storage, with nothing recoverable after reinstall.
Last updated
Skred stores encrypted conversations and identity keys inside the app's private storage, invisible to file browsers. There is no account in the cloud holding a spare copy.
That makes reinstalls destructive by design. New installs generate fresh keys, and old chats do not come back. Export anything vital through the app before resetting a phone.
Where Skred stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.skred.messenger
Private storage with encrypted history and keys. Needs root or backup tooling to read. Confirm the package on the Play Store listing if your build differs.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents
Per install container path. An encrypted device backup preserves it. Without a backup, reinstalling starts a blank identity.
Frequently asked questions
will reinstalling skred delete my chats
Yes. History and keys live only in the app container. Back up the device or export conversations first, since nothing syncs back afterward.
how do i move skred to a new phone
Restore from an encrypted device backup carrying the app data. Manual file copies cannot work because the storage is private and key bound.
