What are Curiosity Logs?

Logs are the Curiosity app's way of recording what it's doing. Curiosity keeps a rolling log of activities on your device, and will erase them automatically after some time. If you're having issues with the app, you can choose to share your logs with us. They can be useful for troubleshooting any issues you might be seeing.

Logs contain private information like file names and searches. If you choose to share them with Curiosity, we will only use them to troubleshoot your problem, and delete the logs afterwards. Find out more in our privacy policy.
