@anisharma07 this feature will work for only those android devices whose android version is < 13 if you are fine with this then i can do it right away

[anisharma07]

@FireFistisDead But, why is that? It should be working with all android versions!

[FireFistisDead]

@anisharma07 this is because of the build of android 13+ versions as to improve security the android developers removed the feature to give complete access to the local storage as a result no app can gain the whole access of the local storage insted they can have access of images and videos instead this can be seen in your phone also if you have android version > 13 that's the reason the whatsapp files which we download are stored in particular folder which is created by whatsapp itself

• For More info you can refer this also :- https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13

This change was bought to enhace the security of android by not giving the whole storage permission to the app thus storing a file at a particular location selected by user is not possible from my pov if you have some ideas then we can discuss it here

@FireFistisDead See If there can be any workaround for this, If there's any way to show the file explorer to save the generated csv..

• Otherwise, try If we can store the file as a downloadable file
• Or Show a share Popup on Generating CSV works like in the picture below:
