How to Download Photos and Videos on WhatsApp (WA) Status Without an Application

Learn how to save WhatsApp Status photos and videos without using any third-party apps! Discover the simple steps to download and keep your favorite moments forever.

Downloading WhatsApp status, whether photos or videos, doesn’t require additional applications. In fact, using third-party apps can slow down your phone, especially devices with limited RAM capacity.

WhatsApp Status Visibility and Saving

By default, WhatsApp Status is only visible between two users who have each other’s contact information saved in their address books. If the other person’s phone number isn’t saved in your contacts, they won’t be able to view your status updates.

Viewing vs. Saving WhatsApp Status

Unlike images or videos shared via private or group messages, which are automatically saved to your phone’s gallery, WhatsApp Status can only be viewed and isn’t saved automatically.

Instead, you can use built-in features on your Android or iOS device to save WhatsApp status. Here’s how:

Saving WhatsApp Status Photos and Videos Without Third-Party Apps

1. Open WhatsApp and find the status you want to download.
2. Open the File Manager application (usually pre-installed on smartphones).
3. Locate the WhatsApp folder.
4. Select the Media folder.
5. Choose the Statuses folder.
6. Photos and status images of friends you’ve viewed will be saved here.
7. Copy or move the desired files to your preferred location.

By following these steps, you can easily save WhatsApp Status photos and videos without using third-party apps!

Important Note: Accessing Hidden Files

On some smartphones, certain folders might be hidden. To access them, enable the “Show hidden files” option in your File Manager application.

Evolution of WhatsApp Status

Initially, WhatsApp Status only allowed text sharing. However, in 2017, the feature was updated to support sharing of photos, GIFs, videos, links, and more (India Today). WhatsApp Status updates disappear 24 hours after being posted.

Similarities with Instagram Stories

The WhatsApp Status feature bears a resemblance to Instagram Stories. This similarity is not coincidental, given that both WhatsApp and Instagram are owned by Facebook (acquired in 2012 and 2014, respectively).
