It’s tricky to save WhatsApp statuses without any third-party help, as WhatsApp doesn’t offer a direct “save” option. However, there are a couple of workarounds you can use:

1. The “Hidden Folder” Method (Android Only):

• View the Status: First, you need to actually view the status on WhatsApp. This is important, as it temporarily caches the status on your phone.
• Open File Manager: Use a file manager app (most Android phones have one built-in, or you can download one).
• Enable Hidden Files: In your file manager settings, make sure you have the option to “show hidden files” enabled.
• Navigate to the Folder: Go to your phone’s internal storage, then find the “GB Whatsapp download” folder, then “Media”, and finally “.Statuses”. This folder contains the statuses you’ve viewed.
• Copy the Status: You can now copy the photo or video you want to save to a different folder on your phone.

Important Notes about this method:

• Android Only: This only works on Android devices.
• Temporary: The statuses in the “.Statuses” folder are temporary. They’ll disappear after 24 hours, even if you don’t save them.
• Hidden Folder: This method relies on accessing a hidden folder, which might be a bit tricky for some users.

2. Screen Recording (Both Android and iOS):

• Open the Status: Go to the WhatsApp status you want to save.
• Start Screen Recording: Use your phone’s built-in screen recording feature (most modern phones have this).
• Record the Status: Start the recording and play the status video.
• Stop Recording: Once the status is finished, stop the recording. The video will be saved to your phone’s gallery.

Important Notes about this method:

• For Videos Only: This method only works for video statuses.
• Quality May Vary: The quality of the saved video might depend on your screen recording settings.

General Notes:

• No Official Way: WhatsApp doesn’t officially support saving statuses, so these methods are workarounds.
• Respect Privacy: Always respect the privacy of others. Don’t save or share statuses without their permission.

If you’re comfortable with third-party apps, there are many “Status Saver” apps available on app stores that make the process much easier. However, always be cautious when downloading apps from unknown sources and check reviews before installing.
