Where are flash messages stored?

I thought they were stored in cookies - but no, cookies inspecting gives me nothing. Sessions do not store them either. So, where I can find them?

I need this to set them directly (not through flash hash).

Such messages are called flash SMS and they are usually sent by carriers.

How does a flash SMS work?

A flash SMS (also known as a class 0 SMS) will appear on a mobile, even if the screen is locked. As soon as the user presses 'Dismiss' the message disappears and is not stored in the SMS inbox. Flash SMS cannot be sent as a p2p text, from one person to another. They can only be sent via an SMS API service.

According to APIdock : ActionController/Flash, it is stored in a session.

Note that if sessions are disabled only flash.now will work.

When using flash.now, your values are not available in the next request.
