Where is physical location of apps in Android 12?

I use x-plore as file manager to browse files. I look in both internal and SD storage but cannot find many apps. These same apps show on my phone and work.

For example I cannot find Amazon App anywhere in phone folders,

  • Apps are stored in /data/apps and their data in /data/data but on a non-rooted device you don't have full access to those locations. – Robert Apr 01 '22 at 18:00
  • you can't find any apps on any android version, they never existed on internal storage or SD – alecxs Apr 01 '22 at 18:09
  • @Robert There is no apps folder under data – S Nash Apr 01 '22 at 18:19
  • @alecxs So when app saves some mp3 files. Is there anyway to find them? – S Nash Apr 01 '22 at 18:20
  • I see x-plore has a search function. Hopefully those mp3s are not saved internally in the App. – S Nash Apr 01 '22 at 18:23
  • ah you're talking about media files. location has changed from /sdcard -> to /sdcard/Android/media/ – alecxs Apr 01 '22 at 18:37

    @SNash there is an app or apps folder but you don't won't see it as neither apps not the adb user have the permission to list the files and folders inside /data/. – Robert Apr 01 '22 at 19:02
  • @Robert So you are saying if I Root my phone I will be able to see it? – S Nash Apr 04 '22 at 16:54
