How to save Whatsapp Status in your Android Phone

WhatsApp Status lets you share photos and videos with people who use the messaging service that's become a ubiquitous social media platform in India. WhatsApp used to be an app where you could just chat with people but a couple of years ago, it added a feature called WhatsApp Status.

This is pretty similar to Snapchat and Instagram Stories, where the things you upload get removed after 24 hours. Creating a WhatsApp Status is very easy and if you want to view someone else's status then you can do that by going to the Status tab on WhatsApp. But what if you want to save WhatsApp Status? Well, if you own an Android smartphone, then you'll be delighted to know that you can save WhatsApp Status videos and photos by following these simple steps listed below.How to save WhatsApp Status video on Android

The whole process requires a file manager on your Android smartphone. You can use any file manager of your choice but the steps may vary. To keep things simple, we used the Google Files App, which is a free file manager app for Android, for this tutorial. It comes pre-installed on Google's Pixel smartphones and you can easily download and install it via Google Play.

Now, follow these steps to save WhatsApp Status video on your Android smartphone:

  1. Open Google Files app on your Android smartphone, and click on the hamburger icon present on the top-left and tap Settings.
  2. Similarly, if you're using a Pixel smartphone, then open the Files app, click on the three-dots icon on the top-right and tap Settings.
  3. On the next screen, enable Show hidden files. On Pixel smartphones, you need to enable Show internal storage.
  4. Now go back to the Files app's main menu and tap Internal storage.
  5. Now go to the WhatsApp folder > Media > ‘.Statuses'.
  6. To save a photo or a video, long-press on it and tap Copy. Now paste the file in any folder of your choice in the phone's internal storage.

Is FaceApp Really a Privacy Threat

A few tweets about FaceApp, an AI photo editor developed by a Russian company, sparked a privacy freakout among those who'd uploaded their selfies. However, security researchers say the concerns are overblown. Should you be afraid of FaceApp , the photo editor out of Russia accused of vacuuming up photos of millions of Americans? According to security researchers, we all need to calm down. The app isn't trying to invade your privacy and mass upload all the photos from your phone. "We have found nothing out of the ordinary in this app," Aviran Hazum , a researcher at the antivirus company Check Point, said in an email.

"I must say that this app seems to be developed in a good fashion—no greedy permissions, and it does what they claim it does," he added. So why did the app suddenly raise alarms? FaceApp has actuall...

Cyber criminals looking to exploit in the anniversary of WhatsApp

WhatsApp turned ten years old in 2019, and that fact has not escaped the attention of cybercriminals looking to exploit the anniversary. Researchers from ESET have received a WhatsApp message offering 1000GB of free internet data by way of a WhatsApp birthday present to its users. That message, unsurprisingly, is neither from WhatsApp itself as it purported to be, nor is the offer of 1000GB of free internet data genuine. It is a scam, and not a very convincing one assuming you know what to look for that is. Unfortunately, given that this is the 10th anniversary year for WhatsApp and gifts to loyal members are not exactly unusual, it would be all too easy for the unwary user to get carried away by the fraudulent promotion. What does the message say? "WhatsApp Offers 1000GB Free Internet!" the message reads, with a link to click for more details. That link is the first real giveaway that all may not be as it seems; it isn't an official WhatsApp domain. Howev...
