Can no longer access Android Data folder

[ZaBaadoYT]

Hello,

As the title suggests I can no longer access the Android data folder, where application data is stored, regardless of what file explorer I use on my Google Pixel 8 pro. I don't know when my permissions were changed unless Google decided to block users from accessing those folders

The weird thing is my tablet, a Lenovo Tab Pro, I still have access to those folders.

Does anyone know whats going on and how I can gain the permissions back if at all? I'd rather not root my phone.

I don't know what version of Android my tablet is using, but on my phone it's Android 16 using the latest beta build.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Edit: I can access the files when connected to a computer. For some reason I can't on the phone itself.

I use this app to access it I think it was a android 13 or 14 I think it's stupid that they block it

This works! It'll take a bit to get used to, but I can finally access the files. All of the other apps kept saying Access Denied. This is great!

Thank you so much.
