Everything a status saver should do.

Nothing it shouldn't.

One tap to save

Statuses go straight to your gallery in their original quality, under Pictures and Movies › Stories Downloader.

Auto-save

Turn it on and new statuses are saved for you, even in the background. Off by default.

Select many

Long-press to pick several statuses, then save, share or delete them together.

Share anywhere

Send any photo or video to the apps you already use, straight from the viewer.

Light and dark

Follows your phone's theme, with large text and screen reader support built in.

Speaks your language

Available in 12 languages, from Arabic and Hindi to Swahili and Chinese.

Three steps. That's it.

Set it up once and your statuses are always a tap away.

  1. Watch statusesOpen the statuses you want in your chat app, as usual.
  2. Pick your Status folderChoose it once with Android's own folder picker. Works with the Business app too.
  3. Save or shareTap a status to view it full screen, then tap Save or Share.

Private by design.

Stories Downloader doesn't ask for your account or for access to all your files.

  • Only one folder.
    Android's folder picker means the app sees just the folder you choose.
  • Nothing uploaded.
    Your photos and videos never leave your phone.
  • Clear ads.
    A few ads, each labelled "Ad", and never in the viewer. A one-time purchase removes them.

Questions

Why don't I see any statuses?

The app shows statuses you have already opened in your chat app. Watch a few, then come back and pull to refresh.

Where are my saved statuses?

In your gallery, under Pictures › Stories Downloader and Movies › Stories Downloader, and in the app's Saved tab.

Does it need storage permission?

No. On Android 10 and later it uses Android's own folder picker, so it only sees the one folder you choose. Android 8 and 9 ask for storage access only to save.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Viewing, saving and sharing work offline.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. iPhones don't let one app read another app's files, so a status saver can't work there.

Is it free?

Yes. It shows a few labelled ads between rows, never when you open the app or view a status. A one-time purchase removes them.

Never lose a status again.

Free on Google Play, for Android 8 and later.
