Redmi Note 4 64gb installing apps in external storage

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/redmi-note-4-64gb-installing-apps-in-external-storage.200194/

I bought Redmi note 4 64GB yesterday and started installing apps but when I install whatsapp I couldn't find installation folder in internal storage so there is no way to use my old backup unless I use google drive (which I did eventually). But I can't use my old videos also I don't like to use G-Drive as backup.

So please let me know what are my options, I would like to have access to my whatsapp photos/video. Its been a while when I tried custom ROM but if its a decent ROM I am ready to give a shot... Any recommendations would be appreciated

There should be a whatsapp folder in internal storage. Use a 3rd party file explorer to find/explore it.

Can you post a screenshot of the said file explorer?

Also, enable the documents app. MIUI disables it by default.

If you have your old mobile, take backup of Whatsapp with Titanium Backup, and restore in New mobile.

To my surprise its fine now

I was using my old phone MMC and single sim, the idea was to copy all the data but since I coudn't find the whatsapp folder I removed my card and used second sim... Bingo, now I see whatsapp folder

Thanks for the reply bro, thankfully its fixed now
