As the world is becoming a global village, the boundaries are becoming more and more shadowy which, in modern times, could be traversed both physically and virtually. WhatsApp is one such platform that facilitates this traversing of boundaries and connecting people who are putting up at polar ends. On 2009, 3rd of May, the world was introduced to the nascent form of this app, and since then the popularity and demand it has done nothing but skyrocketed. You could be sitting in any corner of the world and still reach out to anyone in this world, does not matter what place the other person resides in, the communication and connection are just a click away. The functioning of this app is such that one requires the other person’s contact details, mainly the contact number, in order to send a direct message to him or her. Along with this basic feature, Whatsapp also facilitates voice and video calls to an individual or to a group of people. But the fascination with this app does not end here. On WhatsApp’s 8th birthday, dated on 24th of February, 2017, it came up with a new feature which was termed as “Status upload” that would enable a user to upload pictures, short videos, song clips, GIFs, basically anything to everything audio-visuals one would please to share, however, this feature was considered to be the dupe of Snapchat stories and Facebook. But cashing on the already established user base, in a trice this new feature gained popularity and came into a mainstream trend. It was welcomed by people with all creativity, zeal, and madness as it became an enabling force for the people to share their experiences, life events, achievements, etc.

As the trend of it grew stronger and more popular, people started discovering things of their interest on the status of someone else, wanting to have the media to become their form of expression or something they could put out in the world too. Whatsapp allows viewing someone status if you have their contact card in your list and vice versa, now if you come across a media file that catches your eyes, a screenshot would be the viable option when it comes to pictures to save that file/media in your device or internal storage. But what to do when it comes to saving a video? A screenshot would definitely not come to the rescue and one would end up hitting a nail on his/her head. To save the day, we have listed some ways in which you could download the videos in your device or internal storage from someone else’s status, in few easy steps.

How To Download WhatsApp Status Manually

For this the features of the “file manager” app would come in handy, this comes as an inbuilt feature in many smartphones and androids like Xiaomi, Samsung, Oppo, etc, but if you don’t have it inbuilt, getting it installed from the Google Playstore would be advised.

Once you have viewed the WhatsApp status of someone, it gets saved in your internal memory but with the temporary span of 24 hours in a temporary folder, so if one needs access to it even after 24 hours, he/she will need to make a copy of it and save it in some other accessible folder in the internal storage.

· For starters, you would need to view the status of the one you want to download; this would save a temporary copy of the same in the internal storage.

· Now open the “file manager” app on your device and enable the “show hidden files” by making changes in the “settings” of the app.

· Go to the “internal storage” section of the app and scroll down to the file named “WhatsApp”.

· Once you have opened the file, further scroll down to the folder named “media”, post-opening that, you will come across the folder “.Statuses”.

· After clicking on the same, the viewed statuses will appear, in a list or grid format, you can change the view to your convenience.

· Long press, or click on the circle on the right of the status you want to download. The popup options will appear at the bottom, click on “more” (three dots), and in the further pop-up menu, click “copy”.

· You will be directed to a window where you will be required to select a folder to paste the status. Click on “Internal shared storage” and navigate to the folder of your choice where you want to store the status.
