Where Does Tripadvisor Store Trips and Reviews?

Tripadvisor keeps trips, saves, and reviews in your account with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.

Last updated

Tripadvisor saves are account-side. Trip boards, favorites, bookings, and published reviews attach to the login. The sandbox holds session, cached pages, and unpublished drafts.

Drafts are the one fragile piece. Everything else survives reinstalls untouched. Post pending reviews before wiping, then the new phone matches the old exactly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move Tripadvisor saves to a new phone?

Log in on the new phone. Saved places, trip boards, and bookings sync from the account. Draft reviews live locally until posted, so publish them first.

Do draft reviews transfer?

Post them before switching. Published reviews attach to the profile permanently. Drafts in the sandbox die with the old install, so finish or lose them.
