Step 1: Install a File Manager App
The first thing you need to do is install a file manager app on your Android device. There are several options available in the Google Play Store, such as ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer, or File Manager by Xiaomi Inc. Choose the one that suits your preferences and install it on your device.
Step 2: Access WhatsApp Media Folder
Open the file manager app you just installed and navigate to the WhatsApp folder on your device. This folder is usually located in the internal storage or SD card, depending on your device’s configuration. Look for a folder named “Media” within the WhatsApp folder.
Step 3: Find the Statuses Folder
Within the Media folder, you will find several sub-folders. Look for a folder named “Statuses.” This folder contains all the photos and videos that have been viewed as a status on your WhatsApp app.
Step 4: Copy the Statuses to Another Folder
Long-press on the photos and videos you want to download from the statuses folder. Select the “Copy” option from the menu that appears. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the downloaded statuses (e.g., Downloads folder) and paste the files there.
Step 5: Rename the Files (Optional)
If you want to give meaningful names to the downloaded statuses, you can rename the files. This step is optional but can help you keep track of the statuses you have downloaded. Long-press on a file, select the “Rename” option, and enter the desired name.
Step 6: Access Downloaded Statuses
You have successfully downloaded the WhatsApp statuses! You can now access them through the file manager app. Navigate to the folder where you saved the files, and you will find all the downloaded statuses there.
Step 7: Share or Use Downloaded Statuses
Now that you have downloaded the statuses, you can use them as you wish. Share them with your friends, set them as your own status, or even use them for creative projects. The possibilities are endless!
