Privacy Policy — Status Saver for WhatsApp Web
Last updated 15 November 2026 · applies to version 1.1 and later. The app's own policy is at /privacy/.
Status Saver for WhatsApp Web ("the extension") is published by MobileByteSensei.
What the extension does with data
- Status media you view (photos and videos) on https://web.whatsapp.com is copied into a library stored locally in your browser, in the extension's own storage (IndexedDB), so you can preview and save it.
- Settings (how many days to keep statuses) are stored in the extension's local settings storage.
- The status viewer page can show that library. It does this by embedding the extension's own page inside your browser; the files are handed from the extension to the page on your computer and are never sent to our server or anyone else's. The website can list and delete items, but cannot add to the library or read anything else.
What it does not do
- It does not send any data anywhere. The extension makes no network requests of its own and has no server, analytics, advertising or tracking.
- It does not read your chats, messages, contacts or account details. It only looks at the status viewer on web.whatsapp.com.
- It does not run on any site other than web.whatsapp.com and getstatussaver.com.
- It does not sell or share data with anyone.
Retention and deletion
Statuses are deleted automatically after the period you choose (default 7 days; 1, 3 or 30 also available). You can delete any item at any time from the "Viewed statuses" panel or the viewer page. Removing the extension deletes its library and settings.
Your responsibility
Statuses belong to the people who posted them. Save and share them only with their permission and in line with WhatsApp's terms.
Contact
The extension is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WhatsApp or Meta Platforms, Inc. The Android app has its own privacy policy.
