How to Download/Save WhatsApp Status Videos and Photos
- Firstly, we need a file manager by which you can reach to your WhatsApp folder. You also have to enable show hidden files and folders. If you can enable hidden files you can do it with your inbuilt file manager otherwise my recommendation is use ES file Explorer file manager which has many features and it works for all android devices.
- Now, go to your WhatsApp and tap on the status. Just watch your friend's status that you want to download/save in order to make a temporarily file.
- Now open your file manager (ES Explorer).
Open menu ( by clicking on menu button at top left corner or slide left to right from left), scroll down the menu and enable 'Show hidden files' as shown in the above screenshot.
- Now get out of from the menu, you'll see the home page. Select internal or external storage in which your WhatsApp installed (or you can check both storage).
- Now go to WhatsApp -> Media -> .Status
- Once you open .Status folder, you will see here your friend's latest WhatsApp status videos and photos that you can simply copy here and paste to other folders. Then you can view it from your phone's gallery.
