How to save WhatsApp statuses

Save photos and videos from WhatsApp statuses with Status Saver.

Status Saver saves photos and videos from WhatsApp statuses to your phone. It only reads the folder you choose, and it works in a few steps.

Before you start

  • Status Saver is installed on the same phone as WhatsApp.
  • Open a status in WhatsApp first. Status Saver only shows statuses you have already viewed in WhatsApp.

Step 1: Choose the WhatsApp status folder

Open Status Saver and allow folder access when it asks. Then go to Settings, then Status Folder, then Change. Choose:

Android, media, com.whatsapp, WhatsApp, Media, .Statuses

If you cannot see the .Statuses folder, turn on hidden files in the folder picker.

Step 2: View statuses in WhatsApp

Open WhatsApp and view the statuses you want to save. Then go back to Status Saver and pull down to refresh the list.

Step 3: Save a status

Open the status in Status Saver and use the save option. The status is saved to your gallery and to the Saved tab in the app.

WhatsApp Business

To see statuses from WhatsApp Business, use the WA BIZ switch at the top of the app.

Nothing shows up?

Check that you chose the .Statuses folder and that you have viewed the statuses in WhatsApp first. If the app says “Folder access expired”, choose the folder again. For more help, see the Status Saver support page.

Please respect the poster

Before you save or share a status, remember that it belongs to the person who posted it. Status Saver is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.
