Addition of world export and import feature in bedrock mobile version

Hello, Mojang team. My suggestion is to add the world export and import feature — as is already the case in the PC version — to the mobile version of Minecraft. Recent android updates no longer allows access to the data folder in the system files, which makes it impossible for us, mobile players, to manually back up our Minecraft worlds. It's quite frustrating to dedicate hours to a map and end up losing the file because you need to switch devices (as has happened to me). In short, I think this addition would be essential for those who dedicate themselves to the game and don't want to lose the constructions they've made with so much care.

    Absolutely! I just don't understand why the ability was patched away in Android recently.

    This inability to save structures between worlds affects SO many addon and map creators and stymies so many potential creators. Despite what the vanilla UI file comments say, file picker capabilities do exist for Pocket Edition platforms!

    Like it literally just a world exporting it not that much of a deal for device to export world now the New Ore UI is hardcoded and the Old JSON UI cannot modify the game basically ending the lives of world creator on mobile and not to mention about the Structure Exporter how come we can export world but not a structure? Like literally mcworld and mctemplate is probably even heavier than mcstructure

    I would like to see an export world button on Android and iOS, please, because I keep losing my worlds. I can't move them to new devices, and they get corrupted after the update.Please add the export button back to Ore UI in Mojang Because my worlds mean a lot to me, thank you.

    And I'm always looking for mods with an export button, none of them work, so Mojang, please add the export button. My worlds, where I've built a city or played with friends, mean a lot to me. I just want the export button back, please, because I also want to upload the worlds online so others can play them, please.
