Unfortunately, it is not possible currently to copy files from /Android/media folder

Of course its possible. You can use your FileTools or the TaifunFile extension or the File component for that (and of course you need READ permission for this).

Some basics on Android storage system

It is no problem to read from this path (folder) on any Android version. But with targetSdkVersion = 30 it is no longer possible to write / save / copy to this folder on devices with Android > 10. I have never used or installed WhatsApp and it will stay that way. So I can’t say anything about whether it will still save files to this folder on Android 11. But MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is not declared in the WhatsApp Manifest.
