How to save WhatsApp status without an app

It has been quite difficult for WhatsApp users to save people’s statuses as the messenger company has started carrying out its plan to stop the use of any third-party WhatsApp such as GBWhatsApp, YoWhatsApp, FMWhatsApp, WhatsApp Plus, etc.

For the past few weeks, many third-party WhatsApp users have been experiencing temporal bans here and there. Even on the modded/cloned Whatsapp. If you have been temporarily banned when using any third-party WhatsApp, the truth is that there isn’t any solution to getting unbanned because your Number has been targeted for further violations.

• Locate the “WhatsApp” folder and click on it.
• Tap on the “Media” folder.
• When it opens, locate any three horizontal/vertically placed dots on the phone and click on it.
• Tap on “Show hidden files” (This depends on the type of phone that you are using).
• A “Statuses” tab will appear right away, open it.
• After opening the folder, you will see a list of pictures and videos, this depends on the number of videos/pictures that you’ve viewed in the last 24 hours. Locate the picture/video that you like by opening them one by one until you come across the selected one.
• When you see the picture/video that you are looking for, copy and paste it to another folder on your “Phone Storage” or “External Storage”. That is if there is any available.
• Now, go to your Gallery, you will see the picture/video there, this means that the file has been saved to your phone until you delete it.
