There is no official way to download WhatsApp Status. However, it does not mean that it is an impossible task. In fact, it is quite easy to do so if you know the method or if you have the right application.
How to download Whatsapp Status without installing apps
The best way to download a WhatsApp status is to use the system file explorer. However, at this point, it is necessary to make a clarification. The folder you need to access is hidden. Therefore, your browser must let you view hidden files. If your browser does not have this feature, use alternatives such as Total Commander.
In our case, we were able to use the integrated browser. First, view the status you wish to download. By doing so, you force WhatsApp to store it in the internal memory. Then, browse your device's memory to the /WhatsApp/Media/ path. There, you will see the .Statuses folder. Tap on it.
