How to copy from whatsapp status
How to save 'WhatsApp Status' images and videos from friends
WhatsApp made the “Status” feature official back in February. It lets users share photos, videos, and GIFs which disappear automatically after 24 hours. The feature was initially called a “clone” of Snapchat Stories by users and experts worldwide. Nevertheless, the feature is slowly picking up and becoming popular amongst the users.
WhatsApp Status updates are perishable by nature. Hence, WhatsApp does not offer an “official” way to save these shares. Some users take a screenshot to save the image statuses, but how about the videos? Even the screenshots fail to keep the image in the same quality as it is on WhatsApp. So what is the best way to save the statuses? Let’s find out…
There are two ways to save the WhatsApp Statuses easily. The first way is using a dedicated app. However, if you need to save the image statuses occasionally, then you can follow the manual way. Both of them are explained in detail below:
Save status files manually (using File Manager)
WhatsApp saves the status files (photos/videos) locally on the phone. But these are erased after 24 hours. So, what you can do is to copy them out of the temporary folder and save them to a safe location. Here’s how:
Note: You will need a File Manager app to perform this. Most phones (like from Samsung, LG, Sony, Xiaomi, and OnePlus) have it installed by default. You can find it by looking for an app named “Files” or “File Manager”. If there is none (like on Nokia Android phones), you can download and use Solid Explorer or ES File Explorer.
- View the status which you want to save. This will make a temporary copy of the same on the phone’s storage.
- Open your File Manager app – Files, File Manager, Solid Explorer; etc.
- Enable “show hidden files”.
You need to open the settings of your file manager and set it to show hidden files. Solid Explorer users can follow this guide to enable hidden files. - Navigate to the WhatsApp folder – Internal storage > WhatsApp > Media > .
Statuses. - Copy the photos/videos which you want to save.
- Paste them into a different folder.
That’s it! The copied photos or videos will be stored forever. You can access them later by opening the folder where it was copied to.
Save status files using a dedicated app
You can avoid the complexity and rely on a 3rd party app to save your friend’s WhatsApp Status. The app will automatically collect the statuses which you have seen and show them in an organized manner.
- Open WhatsApp and vew the statuses which you need to save/download.
- Open Play Store on your Android and install – Status Saver. You can also click on link below to open it in your browser/Play Store.
Download Status Saver from Play Store
Allow the app to access photos, media and files on your device. Because that’s how the app will read the storage to collect WhatsApp Status images. - Select the images or videos which you want to save and tap on the Save icon ().
- Images or videos which you save will be stored to the internal storage of your phone.
That’s it! You have just saved your freind’s WhatsApp status/story and it will be kept forever.
All saved statuses will be accessible from within the app. If you need to access the folder directly, you can open your File Manager app and browse to Internal storage > Status Saver.

Sometimes our WhatsApp contacts put such an amazing video, image, or text as their stories that we wish to put it as our own WhatsApp status.
You might be wondering that what’s the need to copy About, it can be simply rewritten.
But what if “About” contains special symbols which are not available on your smartphone’s soft keyboard? Then the only choice you are left with is to copy their status.
However, regarding video and image, you’ll have to download their status media before using it in your story. And we already know that there is no direct way to download media from your friends’ stories on WhatsApp.
So in this article, we will help you out to copy someone’s WhatsApp Status image, video, and “About” on Android. However, on the iPhone, you can only copy the WhatsApp “About” of your friend. Here’s how to do it.

Copying Others WhatsApp Status Having Video Or Image
Copying your friend’s WhatsApp status isn’t that easy and requires some work. And that work includes downloading a third-party app. However, after downloading the app, copying someone’s WhatsApp image and video status gets much easier.
So if you are comfortable downloading the required app, then you can follow the steps given below.
1. First, install the app – Status Saver on your smartphone.
2. Now, launch the app. You’ll see the current media status of your contacts divided into 2 tabs. Images tab will include Image status, while the Videos tab will include only Video status.
3. Tap on any image or a video to open it.
4. Now that you’re on that particular media, you’ll see a + icon on the bottom right corner of the screen. Tap on it.
5. A list of different options will appear. Tap on the “Repost” Option. (Note: You can also tap on the “Share” option and then select WhatsApp to set the image as your status.)
6. That’s it, now it will directly take you to WhatsApp. Just tap on My status to set the media as your own status.
So now you can easily copy the image or video status of your contacts through this app. Moreover, using this app you can also download the WhatsApp status of others on your phone apart from setting them as your status.
Alternative
If due to some reason, the previous app didn’t work well on your smartphone, then you can also use an alternative app – Status Story Saver for WhatsApp. This app works exactly like the last app with an almost similar interface. But with this app, the constant ads are a little bit of problem.
Copy WhatsApp About On iPhone
1. On iPhone head over to someone’s WhatsApp profile and long tap on About.
2. A Copy option will pop up, tap on it to copy. After this, you can paste this status on your WhatsApp status or About.
This feature copies all special symbols and smilies also.
Copy WhatsApp About On Android
Unlike iOS, the feature to directly copy anyone’s WhatsApp About is not available on Android.
Here we will have to use the WhatsApp web.
1. First, Open WhatsApp Web on the web browser using your PC.
2. Now launch WhatsApp App on your phone.
3. As you’re now on WhatsApp on your phone, tap on the three dots icon at the top right corner of the screen.
4. From the list of options, select “WhatsApp Web.”
5. Now you have to scan the code available on WhatsApp web site on your PC using your phone.
5. After successfully scanning the code, you’ll be able to use your WhatsApp account on the PC.
6. Next, open the chat of the user whose About you want to copy.
7. After that, click on the name of that user to see his/her contact info.
8. Now, take the cursor over the user’s About and right-click on it.
9. You’ll now see a bunch of options, click on “Inspect.”
10. After this, double click on their status to be able to copy it.
11. As soon as you’re done copying the status, click on your profile icon at the top left corner of the screen.
12. Now paste the status into your About section on WhatsApp. That’s it; you can even copy special symbols and smilies with this method.
It’s very easy to copy someone’s WhatsApp About on iOS than Android. However, WhatsApp may bring this option for Android sometime in the future.

How to find and save Whatsapp statuses of other Android users
Published: 11/08/2018
Reading time: 3 min
WhatsApp is currently one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. Since being acquired by Facebook in 2014, Whatsapp has gone from being just a text messaging app. More than 1.5 billion of its monthly users can now enjoy voice calls, messages, video calls, video and file transfer, and WhatsApp status sharing. nine0003
One of the most popular features of most social media apps is stories. WhatsApp is analogous to statuses.

- 1 What are WhatsApp statuses for?
- 1.1 Why save WhatsApp status?
- 1.2 How to find and save whatsapp status
The main interface of WhatsApp for Android has three main headings for each section of the application: chats , status and calls .
Statuses are similar to Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook stories. The user uploads an image, video or text, after 24 hours they disappear or the user decides to delete ahead of time.
Why save WhatsApp status?
Has one of your contacts uploaded a video or funny image that you want to share? But in WhatsApp you can’t take and save the status, this is contrary to the rules of the program. You must ask a friend to send you a status, for this you need:
- Go to section Status
- Click on the three dots and go to My statuses
- Select and hold the status you want to send.
- Press next Forward
- In the search bar, find the user to whom you want to send your status
How to find and save WhatsApp status
You will need a file manager that will allow you to open hidden folders on your Android smartphone. For this, it is quite possible to use the standard file manager that is on your smartphone, or applications such as ES Explorer and Total Commander.
I used the default My Files app found on most Android devices.
1. Open File Manager and navigate to your device's main storage.
2. Go to the WhatsApp folder.
3. If your file manager allows you to show hidden folders, you should see at least two files (.Shared and .trash). Go to folder Media .
4. Select and navigate to the .Status folder. From here, you should find all the statuses that WhatsApp has stored on your phone ("/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses"). I suggest that you copy them to another folder or change their names so that WhatsApp doesn't delete them after 24 hours.
With most file managers, you can set a shortcut to folders so you don't have to constantly navigate there.
If you know other methods for saving statuses, write below in the comments. nine0003
How to save photos and videos from WhatsApp status on Android
As you know, it is not possible to simply save a photo or video from a WhatsApp status on Android and there is no possibility to view it in the gallery either.
But still, all the statuses that you have viewed are in the memory of your phone or tablet, and we will show you how to download statuses to your phone. Nothing complicated, thanks to detailed instructions with attached screenshots, you can easily download videos from WhatsApp status. nine0003
Let's see how to save video from WhatsApp status or photo:
Open "Settings".
In the settings, open the "Storage" item.
Next, in the storage, go to the item "Internal shared storage" or simply internal storage.
Next, you need to go to the "Files" item.
Next, open the "WhatsApp" folder. nine0003
Next, go to the "Media" folder.
Next, open the "Stasuses" folder, where all the photos and videos from the WhatsApp status will be.
Now in the folder that opens there will be all the photos and videos of the WhatsApp status, press and hold a little until the checkbox appears those files that we need to save or move, copy to another folder or send via bluetooth, mail or in any available way. You can mark many files at once, if you need to move or copy a video from WhatsApp, then click on the menu icon in the form of three vertically arranged dots. If you need to send via bluetooth, email or any available method, then click on this icon send. nine0003
Then I think you will figure it out yourself, otherwise the article is very stretched out and not everyone likes it. And yet, in order for video statuses or photo statuses to appear in the "Stasuses" folder, you need to view these statuses in WhatsApp, after which they will be saved in the specified folder, from where you can save, copy, move or send.
Hope you could save whatsapp status photo and video on android.
