Source: Latest Gadgets

The Whatsapp Status feature became immensely popular over time and is now commonly used by people to share messages, achievements, memories, and news with friends and family. WhatsApp application is a massive platform with over a billion users and supports voice and video calls among other features, the instant messaging platform is also introducing the WhatsApp pay feature to its users for in-app payments. 

The WhatsApp stories feature was initially considered as a clone of the Snapchat and Instagram stories feature that allows users to post a photo, video, or GIF to the viewers for a duration of 24 hours. This feature also allows you to address a larger audience at once and update them about the latest happenings. 

How to Save WhatsApp Status

The other person won’t be notified when you download the WhatsApp Status photo or video using any of the methods. However, if read receipts are enabled, they will know that you have seen the status. 

Take a Screenshot 

One of the easiest ways to save a picture from WhatsApp status is to take a screenshot. And that’s possible without downloading any extra app since both Android and iPhone support the screenshot feature.
To take a screenshot, either press the Power and Home button or the Power and Volume down button simultaneously or Slide 3 fingers on the screen.

View WhatsApp Status in File Explorer (Android)

WhatsApp saves the status files locally on the phone, but these are erased after a span of 24 hours. You can copy them to a temporary folder to keep them safe and prevent them from getting deleted after 24 hours.
You will need a file manager app for this action, most modern smartphones including Samsung, Sony, OnePlus, and Xiaomi come with a file manager pre-installed. 
Locate the app named Files or File Manager or download a File Manager from the Google Play Store as it will come in very handy in the future. 

Follow the instructions below to use the File Manager app and download the WhatsApp status for future use: 
  • Start off by viewing the status that you want to save on the WhatsApp application, this will create a temporary copy of the app on your phone storage.
  • Now navigate to the File Manager app of your choice and open it.
  • Enable the option to Show Hidden Files, you will need to open the settings of the file manager app to enable this option.
