Android Question read in .Statuses folder (Whatsapp)

[Tayfur]

Hello all;
I haven't been here for a very long time.

I cant read whatsapp .statueses folder.
Return is empty.

    Dim lstAudio As List
    'my device real folder name... '
    'storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses/???.jpg
    For Each f As String In File.ListFiles(File.DirRootExternal & "/Android/media/com.whatsapp/Whatsapp/Media/.Statuses")
        If f.ToLowerCase.EndsWith("mp4") Then  'or whatever extension
            Log(f)    'displays all csv files
        End If
    Next

Well I gave hint only.
I don't think all those folders are visible to different apps now. Maybe wrong.
