To download a WhatsApp status video on Android, use a status downloader such as StatusPing and save it before the 24 hours are up, whether it is a festival wish, a cricket highlight or a trip video a friend posted. The same steps work for status photos. StatusPing is a status downloader for Android: you give it read access to one folder WhatsApp already wrote, pick the statuses you want, and it copies them to your gallery folder. It also shows how many hours each status has left.
Want to download a status photo or video? StatusPing saves WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business statuses on Android before the 24 hours run out. Get it on Google Play.
How to download a status photo or video
- Install StatusPing on your Android phone and open it.
- Grant folder access. Pick the folder WhatsApp already wrote on your phone. This is read access to one folder.
- Open the status list. Each photo and video shows a countdown of the hours left.
- Select the status you want, or select several to save them together.
- Tap save. The app copies the items you kept to your gallery folder.
- Find them again in the StatusPing library, which does not expire. You can filter, view full screen, or share and repost from the app.
Photo or video
Both work. StatusPing saves status photos and videos, one at a time or many at once, from WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business.
Keep it going automatically
If you do not want to remember, StatusPing has auto-save for new statuses. Background watching uses a persistent notification, and how quickly it picks things up depends on your phone's background limits.
What it needs and what it cannot do
- It needs read access to one folder. It does not ask for All files access or the photo library permission.
- It cannot change or delete what is in the folder WhatsApp wrote; it only copies the statuses you keep.
- No account or sign-in is required.
- It is Android only.
