WhatsApp users, have you ever wanted to save photos or videos from your status updates? If yes, then the company is preparing such a feature. In the new beta update, the chat app is bringing a capability that will let you save your own status.
Found in the Android beta 2.25.7.8 version, WhatsApp is working on a new “save” tool for status updates. The feature is available to some beta testers via the Google Play Beta Program (click HERE to enroll) and will soon reach more app users.
The new feature resides on the My Status page. When checking the views of your status update, tap on the three dots. An overflow menu will appear with options like Forward, Share, Share to Facebook, Share to Instagram, Delete, and Save.
Inputs reveal that the Save option for status updates will enable users to store media content directly from their status. One can save any media shared on status updates from the past 24 hours. But how is this addition useful?
Save feature is perfect for those who accidentally delete a media (picture or video) right after sharing it on the status. In case you want them back, you can save them from the status. The feature makes it easy to retrieve any media and store it.
Note that the feature remains exclusive to your status updates and won’t work for statuses shared by others. The feature is in the testing phase but will soon roll out on a wider spectrum by a stable release.
