Nowadays, third-party applications form an important part of the mobile environment, and social networkingapplications in particular can leave a variety of user footprints compared to other applications. Digitalforensics of mobile third-party applications can provide important evidence to forensics investigators. However, most mobile operating systems are now updated on a frequent basis, and developers are constantlyreleasing new versions of them. For these reasons, forensic investigators experience difficulties in finding thelocations and meanings of data during digital investigations. Therefore, this paper presents scenario-basedmethods of forensic analysis for a specific third-party social networking service application on a specificmobile device. When applied to certain third-party applications, digital forensics can provide forensicinvestigators with useful data for the investigation process. The main purpose of the forensic analysisproposed in the present paper is to determine whether the general use of third-party applications leaves datain the mobile internal storage of mobile devices and whether such data are meaningful for forensic purposes.
