I have now spent some time searching for ways to find where MMS-messages
are stored on my OnePlus 12 mobile with Android 15. There is no end of
suggestions on how to do this, but nothing I have tested works.
Referring to menus or file structure not existing on my mobile.
It can't be that difficult, can it?

all your MMS, SMS, contacts and so on.

It's weird isn't it!  It's only on mobile phones that this strange
system is applied.  On any computer system access is controlled for a
**user** and programs run by that user can access any data that is
readable by that user.  The computer model for access seems much more
reasonable to me.  Surely if I have (say) an address list I want to be
able to use that from other programs on my device, it's my data, why
should I be prevented from using it from another program?

Think about it. Even you can find that out. This system is smarter than
you think given the disaster prone Windows.
