Some android users are going to suffer with this update, because from android 13 and above, it is impossible to access the data folder where the saves are located. I know shizuku is a workaround, but that does not work on all devices for some reason.

I'm using Android 16, and I can access my saves just fine with ZArchiver.

I found a way to prevent the files from getting the deleted by changing the folder name.

Anyway, I know it is not your fault, I just made that comment half-asleep, frustrated that Google is slowly restricting what we can do on our phones.

Thanks for replying, have a good day!

Yes definitely 😠

Will you share this unfathomable knowledge on how to prevent the file form getting deleted?

I don't know if you can do it on your phone's default file explorer, but I used zarchiver with shizuku to rename the game's data folder before uninstalling it, and renaming it back after I installed the update.

Thank you oh wise master

Try downloading iAdb and EX File Manager. Those two work together seamlessly
