WHATSAPP - GrapheneOS Discussion Forum

With android root devices I can access to the folder of “one view messages” recieved on whatsapp, so, I can do it with Graphene Os? How? After to read some posts about it in this forum, many people says that the root is dangerous for the privacy of the Graphene.

please don't open multiple threads with the same question. "rooting" an Android phone completely breaks the security model. It massively increases the attack surface for potential malware and will probably introduce a lot of bugs with apps that check for it. I believe there is no way to access restricted app folders without root. The only thing you could try is to copy the contents of the folder via adb from a computer (and even enabling adb/USB debugging is not recommended).

DeletedUser87 thanks for you reply. Sorry for that. I’ll try it.

DeletedUser87 One thing… how to copy the content of the “folder”? if i have’t root, i can’t see that folder.

Argentino3898 I can't really tell you. Maybe you can research it or even ask the developer of the app you're using which folder it's accessing.
