+Citra's user data storage on Android 11+ with Citra Android Beta 16+ is a bit more complicated than it used to be. This is due to Google mandating that all Android apps need to use SAF (Safe Access Storage) moving forward.

+
+ Updating from an older Citra version
+
+After installing a recent Citra build, you'll be greeted by a pop-up to set up a user data folder. Read it and press `Ok`:
+
+
+
+This will open up a folder browser. Make sure that you're in the "root" of the storage. An easy way to check this is to look at the `USE THIS FOLDER` button at the bottom of your screen. It will be grayed out if you're in the root.
+
+Since you're updating from an older version, select the `citra-emu` folder that can be found in the root of your phone's internal storage:
+
+
+
+Select `USE THIS FOLDER`:
+
+
+
+Citra will now be able to access your old data again. All that's left is to set up your game folder again.

+
+ Setting Citra up for the first time
+
+After installing and then launching Citra, you'll be greeted by a popup. Read it and press `Ok`:
+
+
+
+This will open up a folder browser. Now you'll need to create and select a folder to use for Citra's user data. You can do this either in your phone's internal storage or SD-Card:
+
+
+
+
+Open up the folder you've made and select the `USE THIS FOLDER` button:
+
+
+
+And you're done! Now you can move on to setting up a game folder.

+
+
+
+This will open up a folder browser. If you're updating from an older Citra version, you'll already have a folder where you store your ROMs. Open that folder and select `USE THIS FOLDER`. If you're setting Citra up for the first time, and you haven't made a folder for your ROMs yet, do so now:
+
+
+
+
+Open up the folder you've made and select the `USE THIS FOLDER` button:
+
+
+
+## You have the option of changing the locations of these folders at any time.
+You can find these options by clicking on the folder icon on the top bar:
