1. Download File Manager + via the Google Playstore
2. After installing the application, open it and allow all permissions needed by the application.

4. Now, click on the icon beside the three-dots icon on the top-right corner of your screen. The icon should look like two rectangles stacked on one another.
5. Once you’ve clicked on that, tick the box that says “Show hidden files” and also tick the box that says “Apply to all folders” at the top of the menu, then exit.
6. Now, scroll down until you get to the WhatsApp folder and open it
7. Inside the WhatsApp folder, click on “Media” and then click on “.statuses”
