How to download WhatsApp status videos and images on Android phone?

WhatsApp launched its status function. This is a feature borrowed from Instagram, and Instagram got it from Snapchat.

Like its sister app and Snapchat, WhatsApp does not allow you to directly download images or videos posted as status.

The trick we are sharing here is Super Simple and doesn’t involve any third-party app or root access.

Steps to download or save WhatsApp Status on your Android phone

1. First of all, you need to have a File Manager that can display hidden files (which is most file managers). If you’re unsure, go download Google Files from the Play Store.

2. Open the app and click on the menu icon at the top left corner of the app. Alternatively, you could slide open the menu drawer from the left-hand side. Now, tap on the “Settings”.

3. Now, turn on the “show hidden files” toggle within the settings menu.

4. Now come back to the main page and tap on the Internal Storage option at the bottom.

5. Scroll and Find the WhatsApp folder. Open it and you will see the Media folder.

6. Here, you’ll see a “.Statuses” folder. Open it.

7. All the status videos and images that you have viewed in the past 24 hours are present in the folder. Now, you can view them, copy, and save them somewhere else.
