1st: : Screenshots or Screen Recording
To do this:
- Open WhatsApp and view the status you want to save.
- Take a screenshot by pressing the appropriate key combination for your device. On most Android devices, it is the power button and volume down button simultaneously.
- If the status is a video, you can use a screen recording app or the built-in screen recording feature on some devices to capture the status as a video file.
2nd: Using File Manager
Though this method will necessitate an application, but it is a system application; that is, an application that comes installed in your smartphone. So the procedure goes thus:
Step One: The first thing to do to save a WhatsApp status will always be to watch the specific status you are interested in saving to your smartphone.
Step Two: The second step is to leave your WhatsApp application and go to your file manager application. Here you won't need to download it because it is a system application and usually comes already installed in your mobile phone.
Step Three: You will need to activate the "Show hidden files". This is done by turning to the top right(most often) or top left of your application. And the "options" button, or "more" button you will see the option there to show hidden files.
Sometimes you can go there and realize that the hidden files are already shown and you won't have to bother yourself. And in that case, you will see something like; Conceal or hide hidden file
Step Four: After making you hidden files to be visible, you will just swipe down and enter whatsapp folder, then Media, then .Status folder.
Step Five: In the .status folder, you will see all the status videos or images you have watched that day and that have not yet disappeared(Reached 24hours limit). Then you will just choose the specific video or image you want to save. Then you will copy the file(Video or image) from that specific folder to another folder in your file manager.
After this is done, you will go to your gallery and you will see that specific file there that has been saved.
Why must a whatsapp status be watched first? There is a main reason that people may think that it is for the viewer to see it; But instead, when a status is not viewed, that status is not saved to your phone. That is why when you want to watch a deleted status, it will inform you that you don't have that file saved in your mobile device.
So this is an easy way to manually save your whatsapp status directly to your gallery without any search of an application to download. And this will not just be it because there is another third method that is much more easier. This is with the use of GB Whatsapp.
