Where Does Tapas Store Library and Downloads?
Tapas keeps library and ink balance in your account with downloads cached in a private sandbox per device.
Last updated
Tapas libraries live server-side. Subscriptions, bookmarks, ink purchases, and progress attach to the account. The sandbox holds login session plus downloaded episodes.
Ink economy follows the account, not the phone. Purchases restore after login without repurchasing. Free-episode timers tick on the server, so both phones agree on unlocks.
