Where Does Yuka Store Scans on Mobile?
Where Yuka keeps scan history, favorites and settings on Android and iPhone for full moves.
Last updated
Yuka splits phone state two ways: scan history and favorites synced through its account, plus offline scans and settings local to each phone. The split decides what moves by itself on new devices you own.
Sign in restores cloud history; offline scans need uploading first. Product databases update from the network regardless of copies. Reinstalls without an account lose local scans for good on any phone.
Where Yuka stores this, by platform
/data/data/io.yuka.android/files
History syncs through the account with offline scans local. Upload before switching phones. Verify favorites after signing in.
On My iPhone/Yuka
Same account sync pattern on iPhone with offline scans in the app container. Sign in restores cloud history. Confirm per entry side in settings.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Yuka to a new phone?
Sign in with the same Yuka account and let history sync, then verify favorites on the new phone. Scans follow the account while offline entries need a connection to upload first.
Are my Yuka scans in the cloud or local?
Open Yuka settings and read the account and sync entries. Signed in history follows the account while logged out scans stay local. The entries always show the live state.
