WhatsApp has grown from a simple messaging app to a more mature communication tool. Users can make voice or video calls, share images, videos, documents, or other files. It has also received several social media features like WhatsApp Status, which lets you share multiple videos and pictures as a story. Notably, it gets vanished after a 24-hour time period. This feature is just like Instagram Stories. If any one of your contacts updates their status, it is visible in the dedicated Status tab.
But WhatsApp does not allow you to save status videos or photos directly on your phone. Luckily, in this post, we will share with you a few neat tricks that would allow you to save WhatsApp status on your device’s storage. This negates the need to ask your contact to share their WhatsApp Status with you. You can quietly save the statuses of your contacts on your iPhone with the trick that we will share in this post. With that said, let us jump straight into the article itself;
