Everything people ask about downloading free status videos for WhatsApp and posting your own on Status Exchange.
How do I download a status video from Status Exchange?
Open any status video on the home feed, tap it to play fullscreen, then tap the download icon. The clip is saved straight to your gallery in its original HD quality.
Are the status videos free to download?
Yes. Watching is completely free, and downloads run on a simple exchange: upload one status video and you earn a credit to download or share one. One upload for one download — ekk haath le, ekk haath de.

How do I split a long video into 30-second status clips?
Open the Video Splitter tool, choose your video, pick a 30, 60 or 90 second preset (or set cuts manually on the timeline), then export the clips individually or as a ZIP.
Do I need an account to watch status videos?
No. Anyone can browse and watch every status video. An account is only needed to upload, download or share.
Which status video categories are available?
Status Exchange currently covers Funny, Religious, Sports, Movies, Teaser, plus Jain, Islamic, Shiv and Krishna devotional sub-categories.
Do uploaded status videos expire?
No. Uploads are permanent — they stay available on the feed, and you can edit their details or delete them at any time.
