ARD Tagesschau keeps offline broadcasts and stream cache in private app storage on each phone. Android holds it under its own package folder. iOS uses a per install container with a GUID name. Most content needs no account, so these local files matter more than in login apps.
Downloaded broadcasts stay local and do not move with an account. Stream segments pile up during viewing and dominate disk use. Deleting storage drops the downloads at once. Check the download list inside the app before wiping. Re download needed items from the archive after reinstall.
