I have written a app for ios and Android. It allows the user to take photos and video with the Media.Plugin library at: https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/MediaPlugin The photos are saved here: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.idjoey.hempliance/files/Pictures/MyAppname/637542092736259960.jpg

My question is do these pictures stay there until the app is updated or until the person goes into the settings and clears that cache? Does ios / Android clear it out at any other times?

If I wanted to clear out this cache on ios / Android what would be the best way?

Thanks.

  • The storage you provided is Android internal storage. When the app is uninstalled, all the files that are kept on internal storage in that directory will also be deleted. – Wendy Zang - MSFT Apr 19 '21 at 08:00
  • But does that happen when a app is updated? And what about on iOS? Is this storagae provided by Android and iOS ever get cleaned up automatically? – ashlar64 Apr 22 '21 at 18:52
  • As i know, starting with Android 6.0 has automatic backup. Check the link. developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/autobackup. On ios, if you saved the data in the file, after upgrade, the file still exists. – Wendy Zang - MSFT Apr 26 '21 at 07:29
