StatusSaver is an Android application built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose that enables users to view, save, and manage WhatsApp statuses (images and videos) directly from their devices. Designed for performance and simplicity, it uses modern Android tools and patterns to support both older and newer versions of Android — including Scoped Storage and the Storage Access Framework (SAF).
