I have been using samsung A13 4G since 2022 and in the beginning of 2024, samsung made intentionally an update that made the usb c port unable to do anything apart from charging, LITERALLY. I say intentional because like most people we are complaining about this and Samsung isn't doing anything. Now sth they should understand is that people using these phones aren't gonna stop using them and but S series just because of a wack software, so just stop being MEAN!

You have to turn off auto blocker to use data transfer. People are complaining about it because they don't know about that setting. Go to settings/security and privacy/auto blocker and either turn it off entirely, or just the "block software updates by USB cable" section.  Turning it off entirely is probably your best bet. Also, if you are trying to do data transfer to a computer, you should use a USB cable rated at 25 watts or higher.

I have no issue with data transfer, except when I used a cable that wasn't up to snuff. It is recommened that you use the cable that came with your phone and if you do not have a USB C port on your computer, you use an A to C adapter.
