I have an app that access status folder in whatsapp/media directory.
But on android 11 my app is not working due to android 11 scoped storage.
Is there a way to access statuses folder in whatsapp/media directory ?

In Android 11 the path has changed to /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/media

I think it might be work.
String mString= Build.VERSION.SDK_INT<=30 ? "WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses":"Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses";

Google Play changed their policy in All file access permission.
Here I mentioned below the github link where he used file access for Whatsapp status Downloader but the problem is if you publish it on playstore means it won't work they will reject your app so you can find the solution for that. https://github.com/GauthamAsir/WhatsApp_Status_Saver
