Most of the time, our friends uploads some funny pictures or videos on their whatsapp status and you wonder if you could save them without having to ask for it. Well, here comes the solution. 

Using Files / Media Directory to Save WhatsApp status photos on your Android device :
This method does not require any Application but you will need to access the File Manager on your Android device which we will be explaining how in the steps below –
Note: The Statuses folder is usually Hidden and can be seen only when you turn on the “Show hidden files” which is available in certain File managers.
If your file manager does not have "Show hidden files" then install “ ES File Explorer ” which gives you the option to view hidden files

  • Launch ES File Explorer and from the settings on the left side of the screen turn on “Show hidden files ” option
  • Go to WhatsApp Folder which can directly be accessed and in some devices it can be found under “Phone Storage”
  • Open the WhatsApp folder and now Tap on Media
  • In most Android devices you can find a folder with the name “.Statuses ” which will store the Status updates which you have seen
You can open the Status update which you want to save and simply copy  the file on your Media Directory to view later or share it with your friends.

SECOND METHOD

  • Launch Google Play Store in your Android device and search for “Story Saver for Whatsapp” or click on this link – Story Saver for whatsapp
  • Launch the Application and at the bottom of the display tap on “New” which will show all the recent stories. 
  • From the Stories available tap on the Photo, GIF or Video to open it. 
  • Now below the Status, tap on the Down Arrow button which will download the Status or Story to your phone Gallery
