How To Save 'WhatsApp Status' Images and Videos From Friends
How To Save 'WhatsApp Status' Images and Videos From Friends
WhatsApp made the “Status” feature o�cial back in February. It lets users share photos, videos, and GIFs which disappear automatically after 24
hours. The feature was initially called a “clone” of Snapchat Stories by users and experts worldwide. Nevertheless, the feature is slowly picking up
and becoming popular amongst the users.
WhatsApp Status updates are perishable by nature. Hence, WhatsApp does not o�er an “o�cial” way to save these shares. Some users take a
screenshot to save the image statuses, but how about the videos? Even the screenshots fail to keep the image in the same quality as it is on
WhatsApp. So what is the best way to save the statuses? Let’s �nd out…
You will need a File Manager app to perform this. Most phones (like from Samsung, LG, Sony, Xiaomi, and OnePlus) have it installed by
default. You can �nd it by looking for an app named “Files” or “File Manager”. If there is none (like on Nokia Android phones), you can download and
use Solid Explorer or ES File Explorer.
1. View the status which you want to save. This will make a temporary copy of the same on the phone’s storage.
2. Open your File Manager app – Files, File Manager, Solid Explorer; etc.
4. Navigate to the WhatsApp folder – Internal storage > WhatsApp > Media > .Statuses.
That’s it! The copied photos or videos will be stored forever. You can access them later by opening the folder where it was copied to.
1. Open WhatsApp and vew the statuses which you need to save/download.
2. Open Play Store on your Android and install – Status Saver. You can also click on link below to open it in your browser/Play Store.
Download Status Saver from Play Store
Allow the app to access photos, media and �les on your device. Because that’s how the app will read the storage to collect WhatsApp Status
images.
3. Select the images or videos which you want to save and tap on the Save icon ().
4. Images or videos which you save will be stored to the internal storage of your phone.
That’s it! You have just saved your freind’s WhatsApp status/story and it will be kept forever.
All saved statuses will be accessible from within the app. If you need to access the folder directly, you can open your File Manager app and browse
to Internal storage > Status Saver.
