title: would whatsapp allow getting users statuses on android 11 scoped storage?
body: <p>I am working on an application which shows the list of whatsapp status in the app. Now my questions it that after the scoped storage we can't access that specific path so what to do now? Or all the whatsapp status saver applications won't work in future?
  Right now i am access the statuses folder like this.</p>
  <pre><code>        String whatsappStatus = (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + &quot;/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses&quot;);
  </code></pre>
  <p>But it is not working on android 11 of course.If i use</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>All files access</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>to access all files on phone google play don't allow it unless it's the last solution which is not the case here.</p>
  <p>Is there any hope that whatsapp would store the status in public directly in future or they would allow access to that specific directly?</p>
