Expo's file storing doubt

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 36
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android

Hi! I’m just a bit curious on how Expo works regarding files.
I’ve noticed, for example, that when you create a recording it has a _uri property that points to something like

file:///data/user/0/host.exp.exponent/cache/ExperienceData/%2540anonymous%252Fdreams-f986d293-f2c3-4a99-bbdc-d9841ffe2c86/Audio/recording-61aa83ef-5511-479b-b28c-7b2234d8fe60.m4a

My doubt is, is this file actually stored on the phone at this point? What happens when the recording finishes? I’d just like some insight on the workings of all this, thanks a lot!
