How to download WhatsApp status images

Whether you are an Android or iOS mobile phone user, you can download WhatsApp status image using a screenshot.

How to download WhatsApp status videos on Android mobile phone

• Go to WhatsApp and watch the status you wish to download
• Now, open the ‘File Manager’ app. The app could go with other names, depending upon your manufacturers. For example, my Samsung mobile phone has ‘My Files’ app to manage all files and folders on the device (In case, you don’t have a file manager app on your device, download Google’s Files app from the play store and follow the steps)
• Go to the app’s Settings page and toggle the ‘Show hidden system files’ settings to on
• Now, go back to the app’s home page and select Internal Storage, followed by WhatsApp -> Media -> .Statuses
• Within the ‘.Statuses’ folder, you’ll see all the watched WhatsApp status
• Long press the WhatsApp status video, copy the file and paste it on your ‘DCIM’ or any other visible folder

This will save the WhatsApp status video on your device, and it’ll stay there even after the status is disappeared. If the status video is saved on the DCIM folder, you can access it from the phone’s gallery/ photos app as well.

How to download WhatsApp status videos on iPhone

The steps to download WhatsApp status videos on iPhone are different from Android phones. You don’t have to enable Show hidden system files within the file manager app, go to WhatsApp folder, then Media, .Statuses, and all.

• To download WhatsApp status videos on iPhone, go to ‘Control Centre’ and select the screen recording option
• If the option is not visible there, open iPhone’s Settings menu -> select ‘Control Centre’ -> and tap on the ‘+’ icon next to the Screen Recording option
• With the Screen Recording on, open WhatsApp -> go to the Status window -> and play the WhatsApp Status video you wish to download
• After the entire video is recorded, swipe down from the top and hit stop recording from the notification panel. Alternatively, you can press the power button. The video will automatically be saved on your phone’s Photos app

You can edit the irrelevant part when you set the video as your WhatsApp status.
