WhatsApp introduced the “status” feature some years back. This feature lets users post videos, images and write-ups and it automatically disappears after 24 hours. It has grown so big over the years and now many users monetize it.
The videos and images you upload to your WhatsApp status can be viewed by your contacts and you can view theirs. More times than often, you come across WhatsApp statuses that amuse you so much that you watch them over and over again so you decide to save them.
Whatsapp previously added the option to save WhatsApp status and removed the feature later. However, there are other methods to save a WhatsApp Status e.g through the file manager on your phone and third-party apps.
In this article, I’ll teach you easy methods to save Whatsapp status on iPhone and Android without having to ask your friend again.
