Kik 'URLdata' folder

Dear Forensicfocus forum,

Thank you for taking your time to read this message, I am doing some research into how the Kik application was built and how the application works. I am writing to you to ask if anyone has an answer to what function the ‘URLdata’ folder plays within the kik application. The folder in question is located: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/<UUID>/cores/private/<32-digit-hex>/URLdata

kik version 11.4

The questions I have are:

What function does the URLdata folder play within the the app?

Is the URLdata folder directly accessible through the user interface?

Would the information in the URLdata folder ever show itself or be present in the user interface?

How does information get into this folder?

What information is stored here?

Is the data/information in this folder automatically generated/populated by a process or code in the application in the background, rather than by direct input by the user?

Does kik pre-load weblinks/web addresses as a background process without the user knowing and save them here?

Is the information in this folder only as a result of another kik user sending text weblinks rather than something the user has created/done?

Would the user know what information is in this folder at any one time?

Would the user know this folder exists?

Does anyone have any documentation available that explains how this folder works within the app i'd be very grateful, or if anyone has any contacts within the kik development team that might be able to answer, I would be most grateful.

Best wishes.
