What does local file storage mean on iPhone?
Local storage means that data is kept directly on your device rather than requiring a remote server for ordinary access.
For the user, the distinction is important. A locally stored document can be opened and used on the same device without contacting a developer-operated cloud every time.
PrivateProScanner is designed to keep documents and selected photos locally inside the app.
This can be useful for files containing personal, financial, or business information that you do not want to move through external services without a reason.
A local model also gives the user a clearer sense of control: you decide when a document should be exported and where it should go.
Local storage does not disable normal iPhone functionality. You can still use the iOS Share sheet to send files to other apps and services when you choose.
The main point is that PrivateProScanner does not need its own server storage in order to keep a document available inside the app.
For many people, that makes the workflow easier to understand: the file remains where it was created or imported until the user deliberately moves it elsewhere.
