Import/Export world option for iOS and Android

Can we get an import/export world function for iOS and Android?

I mean, MCPE is alright for when I'm on the go, but once I'm at home I'd rather keep building on my PC.

Then, I can just export from my Win10 version back to my iPhone and carry on.

    I don't unterstand it...
    Windows 10-Version: include the "Export World"-Option in the game edit-menu

    and all others Bedrock-Systems (Google Android, Apple iOS, Amazon Fire, Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft XBOX ONE, Nintendo Switch, ...) not have this Option!? Why?

    We all need this changing and are full of hope when it comes! When will this finally happen?

    Yeah we definitely need this!

    I have a mcworld file from my old device. Now Minecraft isn't working on this device anymore and i want to import this world to my new device.

    Definitely would be nice to see this. I am not holding my breath though. Its been 6 years and the code has always been there and just needed a button added to allow exporting worlds. There was a mod which enabled the button on android. However it seems to have been removed by mojang in the latest version. 

    They seem to actively not want people to be able to back up worlds for some reason.

    I would love this to be added to Minecraft on Chromebook so I can have my worlds on my thumbdrive

    I fully agree. It would be nice to have a bulk import/export functionality as well, to facilitate migrations from one device to another, considering that new android security policies do not allow to tamper with the Android/data folder.

    Android 16 seems to have completely blocked the ability to write into even "external" app data storage, even via ADB. So even though I've backed up my kids' dozens of worlds there's no way to restore them except (maybe) the horribly slow and painful Realms route (one at a time).
