WhatsApp Status videos and photos are only visible for 24 hours. Once they expire, they're gone forever. Mediadrop lets you save any WhatsApp Status video or photo directly to your gallery before it disappears.
Method 1: Using Mediadrop App (Easiest)
View the WhatsApp Status
Open WhatsApp and view the Status you want to save. This loads it on your device temporarily.
Open Mediadrop
Open the Mediadrop app and select WA Status from the platform buttons.
Select and save
Mediadrop shows the available Status files from your WhatsApp. Tap the one you want to save and tap Download.
Method 2: Via File Manager
WhatsApp temporarily stores Status files on your device while you're viewing them. You can find them at:
Open your file manager, enable "show hidden files", navigate to this folder, and copy the files to your gallery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I save WhatsApp Status without them knowing?
Saving a WhatsApp Status to your gallery does not notify the person. However, viewing their Status does show you as a viewer.

No. Mediadrop works without root. The file manager method also works without root on most Android phones.
Can I save WhatsApp Business Status?
Yes. The same methods work for both personal WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business.
