SQLite or player prefs which is the right way?

Unity Engine
1

Hi all,
I like to work with databases because of ease and safety.
And I want to work with SQLite in my Local (Offline) Android game
For several reasons
1- It sounds safer because it is local, I thought player prefs can be easily hacked (just my idea)
2- It is more organized.

However;
1- I have never used it in the android system besides if I convert my project for IOS and other platforms in the future I don’t know the compatibility of SQLite with those systems.

There is another option btw. Save as binary, it is cross-platform, it is safe and its complexity is probably enough for my game.

What do you think?

PlayerPrefs ideally should be used for storing just that: preferences.
Audio/Video/Accessibility settings and such.

It’s not the best for storing complex game data, which is where a database can come in handy.

SQLite is supported on many platforms, Android and iOS included. You likely won’t run into compatibility issues with it.
