For security reasons *all* Apps store their data in their *private* storage by default which is *not* accessible with file managers if you don't have root access. If this would not be the case, *all* apps which have the "read files" permission could read *all* your data, including all your MMS, SMS, contacts and so on. Gaining root access usually also means you need to unlock the bootloader of your device and install at least software like Magisk. This is often not possible without wiping the whole device and even installing a custom ROM. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
