    Actually you may not be too far off. Noticed recently that users don’t have access to their Android>OBB or Data folders anymore through the normal files app. I know there is a workaround but I haven’t been able to get it to work. This may not affect downloading/installing apk’s from other sources, but if you have to manually install the OBB/Data you cannot do that.

      It is weird, I have a Redmi Note 9s and my phone comes with both a xiaomi files app and a google files app. I can’t see the data or obb folders with the xiaomi one but I can read and modify them with the google app one.

      So I assume this limitation is only for third party apps?

        Indeed, system apps can work around these restrictions.
