The new (no longer new anyways) Whatsapp update that has enabled us to take a step further into peeping into what our friends are doing, Whatsapp Status is so cool that most of us spend minutes (hours for someone with my kinda account), looking through friends pictures, videos, gifs, and write ups.


You would agree with me that some statuses are just so cool that you want to save them to your phone, and watch at a later time or even share to your friends list. I get.

Unfortunately, the three dots at the top right corner of the status screen is meant for the mute option and there is no option of save or download.

Apps have been developed to save whatsapp statuses, but, I'm sure some of you don't like apps (probably cos of memory space), or even if you do like them, you just don't fancy downloading from playstore (always waiting for a friend's Xender), here is a quick trick to save that friend's status..

1. View the status

2. Open your phone's file explorer

3. Open the phone memory option, amd scroll down through to whatsapp (where whatsapp files are backed up)

4. Click on "Media"

5. Look for status. (There is possibility you don't see it, but if you do see it, jump to step 7)

6. Click on the "eye" icon at the foot of your screen, or whatever icon is there, click on show hidden files

7. You will then see the folder "Statuses"

8. Open and click on the icon at the lower right side of the screen, or any icon that will make you see the option, "Arrange A - Z", so that the statuses will be arranged in order in which you viewed them.

9. Long press on the status you are interested in and copy

10. Go to another folder, preferably memory card (if you don't have, you can use picture folder or video folder in you internal memory)

11. Then paste the copied status there. Sefini.

Theee you go, no apps needed. Nothing, let's say goodbye to this numerous apps, and save ourselves some space to download BBNaija shows. Lol.
