How to Download GB WhatsApp Pro Status in 2026

Hello friends! Welcome to gbwaproapp.com your number one trusted place for everything related to GB WhatsApp Pro. Today we are going to talk about one of the most asked questions by GB WhatsApp users:

“How can I download or save someone’s GB WhatsApp Pro status (photos and videos) easily?”

If you are using GB WhatsApp or the latest GB WhatsApp Pro , then you are in the right place. In this super-long and detailed blog, I will tell you every single method in very simple language so that even a beginner can understand and do it in less than 1 minute.

Let’s start!

Why Do People Love Saving Status from GB WhatsApp Pro?

Before we jump into the “how” part, let’s quickly see “why” millions of people want to download status from GB WhatsApp Pro :

• Official WhatsApp does NOT allow direct status download (you have to take screenshots or screen recording).
• GB WhatsApp Pro gives many extra features, and status downloading is one of the most loved ones.
• You can save funny videos, beautiful photos, motivational quotes, birthday wishes, and travel pictures without asking the person.
• No need to install any extra third-party app in most cases.

Because GB WhatsApp Pro already has a built-in status saver!

Yes, you heard it right – the latest GB WhatsApp and GB WhatsApp Pro come with a hidden status downloader that very few people know how to use properly.

Method 1: Use the Built-in Status Downloader

This is the method 99% of GB WhatsApp Pro users use daily. It takes only 10–15 seconds.

Step-by-step guide:

1. First make sure you have opened the status you want to save. (Just tap on your friend’s status and watch it completely once.)
2. Now come back to the main screen of GB WhatsApp Pro.
3. Look at the top bar – you will see four tabs: Chats, Groups, Status, Calls.
4. Tap on “Status” tab.
5. Below all the status stories, you will see a small floating button or an eye icon (in some versions of GB WhatsApp Pro 18.80 it looks like a download arrow).
6. If you don’t see it, swipe down gently on the status page. The hidden “Saved Status” or “Viewed Status” section will appear.
7. Here you will see all the statuses you have viewed in the last 24 hours.
8. Just tap on any photo or video → three dots (…) → choose “Save” or “Download”.
9. Done! The status will be saved directly into your phone gallery in a folder named “GB WhatsApp Status” or “GB Statuses”.

Pro tip: In GB WhatsApp Pro , go to Settings → Privacy → turn on “Hide View Status”. This way the other person will never know you viewed (and saved) their status.

Method 2: Using the Hidden Folder Trick

Even if the download button is not showing in your GB WhatsApp, don’t worry. WhatsApp (and all its mods including GB WhatsApp Pro) automatically save every status you view in a hidden folder. You just have to find it.

Here’s how:

1. Open your phone’s File Manager (My Files, Files by Google, etc.).
2. Go to Internal Storage → Android → media → com.gbwhatsapp → WhatsApp → Media(If you are using GB WhatsApp Pro package name, it might be com.gbwhatsapppro or com.gbwapro)
3. Inside the Media folder, you will see a folder named “.Statuses” (yes, there is a dot before Statuses – that’s why it is hidden).
4. Open the “.Statuses” folder.
5. Magic! You will see all the photos and videos of statuses you viewed in the last 24 hours.
6. Long press on any file → Copy or Move → paste it into any folder you like (DCIM, Downloads, or a new folder named “GB Saved Status”).
7. That’s it! Now the status is permanently saved even after 24 hours.

Important note: After 24 hours, WhatsApp automatically deletes these files from the .Statuses folder, so save them quickly.

Method 3: Using GB WhatsApp Pro In-Built Status Saver

The latest GB WhatsApp Pro (and higher versions) have added a dedicated “Status Saver” section. Here is how to use it:

1. Open GB WhatsApp Pro .
2. Tap on the “Status” tab.
3. At the very bottom, you will now see two separate sections: ◦ Recent Status Updates ◦ Downloaded Status (or Saved Status)
4. Tap on “Downloaded Status”.
5. Here all previously saved statuses are already there.
6. To save a new one, go back to Recent Status → tap the status → you will now see a big “Download” button at the bottom.
7. Tap it → status saved in less than 2 seconds.

This feature was added because so many users requested an even easier way.

Method 4: Using File Manager Apps that Show Hidden Files

If your default file manager does not show hidden folders (starting with dot), use these free apps:

• CX File Explorer
• Solid Explorer
• Files by Google (turn on “Show hidden files” in settings)

After installing, just follow the same path:

Internal Storage → WhatsApp → Media → .Statuses

and copy the files.

Method 5: Take Screenshot or Screen Record

If for some reason none of the above methods work (very rare), you can always:

• For photos: Take a screenshot (Volume Down + Power button).
• For videos: Use screen recording (available in Quick Settings of every Android phone).

But honestly, with GB WhatsApp Pro you almost never need this old method.

Bonus Tips for GB WhatsApp Pro

Did you know? In the newest GB WhatsApp Pro you can directly repost someone’s status to your own status without saving it first.

How?

1. View the status.
2. Tap the three dots in the top-right corner.
3. Choose “Repost” or “Forward to Status”.
4. It will directly appear as your status – super cool for birthday wishes and memes!

Common Problems & Solutions

Problem 1: “I can’t see the .Statuses folder” Solution: Enable “Show hidden files” in your file manager, or use a better file manager like CX File Explorer.

Problem 2: “Status disappears after 24 hours even after saving” Solution: You probably only copied the shortcut. Make sure you COPY and PASTE the file to another folder (Downloads, Pictures, etc.).

Problem 3: “Download button is not showing” Solution: Update your GB WhatsApp Pro to the latest or higher version from gbwaproapp.com. Older versions (like 17.85) do not have the button.

Problem 4: “My phone says storage permission denied” Solution: Go to Settings → Apps → GB WhatsApp Pro → Permissions → Allow Storage/Media permission.
