How to Download WhatsApp Status Video and Images
Jun. 6, 2024WhatsApp Statuses are a great way to stay updated on what your friends and family are up to. Some of your “cool” friends may sometimes post statuses that you might want to save for later or send back to someone else, or you might want to use them as evidence of sorts. Whichever might be the case, here’s how to download videos and images from WhatsApp statuses.
Method 1: Find WhatsApp Status From Internal Storage (Android)
If you’re using an Android device, WhatsApp has a hidden folder in your internal storage called.statuseswhich saves, well, all the statuses that you open and check. However, the app deletes all the statuses watched in a day by the end of the day. Hence, you’ll need to copy them to other directories before the day ends. Here’s how to do it.
Voila! You’ve just saved videos or photos from WhatsApp statuses to your Internal Storage. You can now use it whenever you want to. There’s unfortunately no way to access the.Statusesdirectory on iPhones given their closed nature.
If you’re unable to find the .Statuses directory on Android, an open-source app named WhatSave can help you save all videos and images from WhatsApp status to your phone. We suggest you stay away from closed WhatsApp Status saver apps on the Play Store as they might collect your personal data.
As mentioned earlier, there’s unfortunately no way to save videos from WhatsApp status on iOS. Hence, you will need to rely on iOS’ built-in screen recorder to capture and save WhatsApp status.
You can now view this recording inside the Photos app on your iPhone.
These are all the ways you can download videos and images from WhatsApp Status. How often do you find yourself in need of saving WhatsApp statuses? Do you find WhatsApp statuses useful? Let us know in the comments below.
