Important: Status Saver for WhatsApp is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your device. All operations are performed locally on your device.

How the App Works
Local Operations Only
Status Saver for WhatsApp operates entirely on your device:
- File Access: The app only accesses WhatsApp's status folder on your device to display available statuses
- Local Storage: When you save a status, it's stored locally in your device's gallery/downloads folder
- No Internet Required: Core functionality works without internet connection
- No Cloud Storage: We don't upload or backup any of your data to cloud services
Permissions Required
Storage Permission
We request storage permission to:
- Read WhatsApp status files from the designated folder
- Save status images/videos to your device's gallery
- All file operations are performed locally on your device
Internet Permission (Optional)
Internet permission is only used for:
- Opening WhatsApp app when you tap the WhatsApp button
- Opening gallery app when you tap the gallery button
- No data is transmitted over the internet
Data Security
Since we don't collect any data, there's no risk of data breaches or unauthorized access to your personal information through our app. All your data remains on your device under your control.
Your Data Stays Yours: Everything you do with our app happens locally on your device. We have no access to your files, messages, or any personal information.
