Status Downloader WhatsApp: Status Saver App for Android

A status downloader for WhatsApp saves a status photo or video to your phone before its 24 hours are up, and a WhatsApp status saver app keeps it afterwards. StatusPing is both, 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, into a library that does not expire.

Want to keep status photos and videos? StatusPing saves WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business statuses on Android before the 24 hours run out. Get it on Google Play.

Saw a festival wish, a cricket highlight or a friend's trip video on a status? Save it before it disappears.

What a status saver app does

Statuses disappear after 24 hours. A status saver app lets you keep the ones you choose instead of taking screenshots or screen recordings. StatusPing shows the statuses currently on your phone with a countdown of the hours left on each one, so you can see what is about to expire.

The manual way

You can keep a status without an app. Screen record the status or take a screenshot of it. Quality may be lower than the original, and you have to do it before the 24 hours run out.

WhatsApp also writes the statuses you have viewed into a folder on the phone, and on some phones a file manager can copy from it. The folder location differs by phone and Android version.

It works, but it is fiddly: the folder is hidden, and there is no countdown to tell you which statuses are about to expire.
