Where Does the SoundCloud App Store Data?
SoundCloud keeps offline tracks and login session in private storage on Android and iOS under distinct IDs.
Last updated
SoundCloud uses separate IDs per platform. The iOS twin carries the TouchApp name from platform history. Private storage holds the login session plus the offline track cache. Session data and cached tracks sit together there, apart from playlists that live server side.
Likes and playlists live server side. They sync back after login on a new phone, so the move takes little effort. Downloads need an active Go subscription on the new phone too. Tracks re download from the library, and the app library manager is the place to handle them.
