What the app keeps on your phone
Gyvio is a web app you can install on your home screen (a PWA). Like an installed app, it keeps some data in your browser's storage on your phone. This data stays on your device; we do not read it from there.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your own profile | So the app can open straight away, even offline | Until you sign out |
| Recent screens: your feed, chats, messages, profiles you have looked at and your wallet | So they show instantly and work offline | Up to 24 hours. Cleared when you sign out or switch account |
| Your settings: theme, autoplay, autoscroll and chat look | To remember how you like the app | Until you change them or clear your browser data |
| Your recent searches | So you can search again quickly | Until you clear them or your browser data |
| When to ask again about notifications and installing the app, and that you have allowed the camera or microphone | So we do not keep asking | Until you clear your browser data |
| Small preferences, such as where the call window sits on screen and a colour per chat | To keep the app as you left it | Until you clear your browser data |
| Short-lived notes for the current visit: who invited you, where to go after sign-in, where you were in a status | To get you to the right place | Until you close the app |
| Pictures and media you have seen (images for 30 days, voice notes for 14 days, Google profile photos for 7 days) | So they load fast and use less data | As shown, or until your browser needs the space |
| The app itself and its fonts | So the app starts offline and loads fast | App files until the next update; fonts up to a year |
Signing out removes your cached profile and recent screens. Some items, such as your recent searches, settings and cached pictures, stay on the phone until you clear them. If you share a phone, clear the site's data in your browser settings after signing out.
