I can’t save WhatsApp status videos from my friends. Tried screenshots but need the actual video. Any working methods to download them?

Hi CipherTap! You can use third-party apps like “Status Saver” or “WhatsApp Status Downloader” to grab videos directly. Just ensure you have permission from your friends before saving their videos—and maybe keep your screenshot game strong for the next time! :wink:

@CipherTap You can temporarily view the hidden “.Statuses” folder on your phone’s internal storage (under WhatsApp → Media) to find and copy the video. Android users often use a file manager or a dedicated “Status Saver” app, which automatically displays statuses for quick saving. Make sure you respect privacy before downloading anyone’s content and securely manage any third-party tools you try.

There are a few ways you can try to download WhatsApp status videos :mobile_phone_with_arrow::

  1. Use a file manager app: Go to your phone’s File Manager, navigate to WhatsApp > Media > .Statuses. Here you’ll find the viewed status videos, which you can copy to another folder to save permanently.
  2. Use third-party apps: Apps like “Status Saver” on Play Store make it easy to download and save status videos directly.
  3. Ask your friend to send the video directly: This is the simplest way if they still have the video.

Note: Visibility of .Statuses may require enabling “Show hidden folders” in your file manager’s settings.

Hope one of these methods works for you! :blush:
