About Status Saver.

WhatsApp statuses disappear after a day, and pulling the audio out of a video or shrinking a large file usually means a separate app for each job. Status Saver brings the three together: save statuses, convert video to audio, and compress photos and videos.

It shows only the photo and video statuses already on the phone, the ones you have viewed, and saves them to the gallery. Saving, converting and compressing all run on the device, and the app needs no account.

Status Saver is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by WhatsApp or Meta.

Who it is for.

  • Keeping statuses

    Saving a friend’s photo or video status before it expires.

  • Ringtones and clips

    Pulling a song or sound out of a video and setting it as a ringtone.

  • Saving storage

    Shrinking large videos and photos to free space or share them faster.

What it does.

  • Save statuses

    View the photo and video statuses you have already seen, full screen, and save them to the gallery.

  • Re-share

    Share a saved status again at any time.

  • Video to MP3, M4A or AAC

    Choose the format and bitrate and trim to the exact part you want.

  • Ringtone, notification or alarm

    Set converted audio directly as a ringtone, notification sound or alarm.

  • Video and photo compressor

    Shrink files with a clear before-and-after size and a quality level you control.

  • Processed on the device

    Saving, converting and compressing run on the phone; media is never uploaded.

  • Light and dark themes

    A clean interface in both themes, with no account, login or sign-up.

How it works.

  1. Grant folder access

    Allow access to the statuses folder through Android’s system file picker.

  2. Save a status

    Open a status you have viewed, preview it full screen, then save or share it.

  3. Convert a video

    Pick a video, choose MP3, M4A or AAC, the bitrate and the trim, then save the audio or set it as a ringtone.

  4. Compress

    Pick photos or videos, choose a quality and save the smaller copy. The original is left untouched.

  • No account, login or sign-up.
  • Storage access is used only to read the statuses you choose to save.
  • Google AdMob may process the device’s resettable advertising ID to serve and measure ads.
  • Google Firebase collects device and app-event information for app stability and usage.
