In android 11 scoped storage is introduced. According to documentation to save non media file (like PDF) Storage Access framework should be use. So using Storage access framework user needs to choose location with system file picker to save non media file (PDF). But If you use whatsapp application on android 11 and try to save PDF file ,It never ask user to select location. By default it will save pdf file to external document directory. I want to replicate same behaviour in My application. Can somebody guide me here.

According to the Android developers documentation they recently introduced the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission acquire this permission and you are good to go access and save any where accept system folders.

You can just write your file in the normal way in the Downloads folder.
Why did you mention that WhatsApp folder? Something completely different.
