6. Once you’ve enabled the show hidden files option, the “.Statuses” folder will appear. Tap on it, and you will find all the WhatsApp statuses of your contacts.

7. Now, the next step is to transfer the downloaded status to your Android device’s gallery. To do this, long-press on the picture or video you want to save, and a menu of options will appear. Simply select the “Copy” option.

8. After copying the status, go back to the File Manager and paste it into the desired location of your choice.

9. Voila! You have successfully downloaded the WhatsApp status, and you can now easily find it in your device’s gallery.
