Welcome to another edition of the Nar hack series,
today we will be showing you another very interesting way to get things done
using your mobile phone. This week we will be featuring another hack that can
be done using your mobile phone. So let’s get right in and see what we can do
here.
At least most of us uses WhatsApp and for using WhatsApp
it also means that we have to sometimes look at the status of others, but
sometimes the status is so interesting that we want to keep it for ourselves (like
we want to download it right into our phones) but by default we have downloaded
it, but we don’t have a direct access to it, at least not yet.
There are ways in which we can have access to these
media, it can be done by using a third party app or an app like the popular GB WhatsApp,
but why waste your time and space and data in installing another app when you can
have a direct access to it through these simple steps.
Let’s check the background information.
Whenever you look at a WhatsApp status just once it
means that that media has been downloaded to your phone, so for you to be able
to view it a second time without data it simple means that the media is
contained somewhere in your phone. Let’s remember that text based WhatsApp
status cannot be downloaded and thus doesn’t contain any direct physical file
base.
So what really happens? Whenever you view any media
on WhatsApp, pictures or video that’s file gets downloaded to a folder called “statues”
that is located in your WhatsApp folder on your phone, but the reason why you can’t
find it is because the folder “statues” is hidden and thus you have no direct access
to it. And also the files there are timed so that after 24hrs they get deleted
from your phones memory.
After that little intro let’s get back to the point
on ground, so if you need to get that media after viewing the status then try
this little steps.
STEPS
1. Go to your WhatsApp and view the status, if it is a
video make sure you view it to the end, so that it will be downloaded completely.
2. Go to your phone folder manager and change the
settings to view hidden files.
3. Go to the WhatsApp directory and you will see a
folder (usually the first folder) named “.statues”.
Open the folder and you will see all the media from the statues that you have
watched for the past 24hrs.
4. Copy the ones you want to another folder (because
those files will only last for 24 hours from when they were being viewed).
5. After that you can change back the settings or
leave it like that to be copying files from it any time you like.
NOTE
1. The files there are only available for 24hrs from
when it is viewed, so remember to remove the ones you need before then or they
will get deleted.
2. If you delete a file there, you will not be able to
access it from your WhatsApp any longer.
3. If you place another foreign file there, it will
have no effect on your WhatsApp, and the 24hrs delete won’t have any effect on
it.
So this is a simple way to get those funny, interesting
status without any hassle of downloading another app. What a nice way to get
more out of our phones.
