Most phones would not have access to that file unless the phone is rooted.

The simple option is to install GBWhatsApp and have your WhatsApp back.

It is very easy to disable the whatsapp status feature by downloading and installing gbwhatsapp 5.50 in your android mobile. GBWhatsApp is the only best modded whatsapp application available on the internet.
