Recovering Lost Chats from Claude Android Cache

After a long web session on the Claude Android app, the author restarted their phone only to find the chat history rolled back, with recent messages seemingly vanished.
They eventually discovered that the local IndexedDB cache still held the complete conversation, which hadn't been overwritten by the sync. The post details a recovery method: connect via USB debugging, use Chrome DevTools to remotely inspect the page, export Claude's IndexedDB databases, and retrieve the hidden messages from keyval-store. The author advises doing this quickly before the sync catches up and overwrites the cache.
