localStorage data store time

Question

I am using localStorage in jQM and PhoneGap. If I don't delete localStorage manually, how long would it be stored? When it is deleted?

I would like to know how it works on mobile devices running Android and iOS. I found an opinion that iOS browser clears it occasionally, is that true?

[Depends on the browser](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9949361/575527). Different browsers treat localStorage differently. — Joseph, Sep 11 '12 at 07:44

The localstorage is persistent. It will be stored until you uninstall the application or clear it manually.
