Choose the scope before the button
Erase Device Data removes the whole Frewli record on this device. It is broader than dealing with one mistaken drink. You can open the review screen and cancel. In iPhone version 1.1.6, there is no Frewli account or cloud sync to sign back into afterward.
1. Decide whether you want to keep your record
Frewli 1.1.6 works offline. Your profile, logs, workouts and preferences stay on your device; updating to this version preserves existing on-device history. An update is not a reason to reset it.
Before erasing, decide whether you still need the record. The app’s storage screen recommends keeping a device backup. Apple explains that iCloud Backup can include downloaded apps’ data; device backup and Frewli cloud sync are different things. Check your own backup arrangements before proceeding. Device backup is separate from Frewli account recovery.
2. Match your task to the scope
Imagine you notice one mistaken drink among a week of workouts. A whole-device reset would remove the workout history too. Review the record before choosing a broader action.
| Your task | Next useful step | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Understand the warning | Open the review screen, then Cancel | Reviewing does not confirm erasure |
| Investigate one mistaken record | Review today’s total before a broader action | Device erasure is not a one-record tool |
| Request removal of older server records | Use the historical deletion request | A local reset does not remove those records |
If you only want to change your profile, open Personal plan instead.
3. Open the review screen without erasing
- Open You in Frewli.
- Choose On-device storage.
- Read Saved on this device, including the account, device-integration and backup explanation.
- Choose Erase data on this device to open the Erase Device Data sheet.
- Read Before You Delete. Choose Cancel if you are only reviewing or still want the record.
Opening this sheet is separate from submitting the final destructive confirmation. The screenshot shows the route from You, not a completed reset.
4. Continue only for an intentional whole-device reset
The review sheet lists hydration logs, workouts, recovery sessions, sweat profile and preferences stored in Frewli on this device. The operation cannot be undone inside the app.
If that is your intended scope, type DELETE in the confirmation field and choose Erase Device Data. This opens a separate alert, Erase Frewli data on this device? The final destructive button is Erase Device Data Permanently. The alert also offers Cancel. Typing the word or opening the alert is not the final confirmation.
5. Distinguish completion from a storage problem
A completed reset takes the app back to setup. If you see Could not erase local data. Keep the app open and retry., keep the app open and follow that message rather than assuming a durable reset has finished. A changed screen alone is not evidence that the write succeeded.
There is no in-app Undo for this operation and no account sign-in that restores the erased local record. Avoid erasing as a troubleshooting experiment when you want to keep your history; ask for help with the version and problem first.
6. Keep Health and historical server requests separate
The erase screen explicitly keeps Apple Health records. It also says the action does not delete records previously uploaded by an older version. Those are separate scopes; do not treat local erasure as confirmation that either has been removed.
The Health-data page explains that integration, while the deletion page retains the request route for historical account/server records. For the current app’s privacy model, see on-device privacy and website analytics.
