How Can I Set a Photo or Video as My WhatsApp Status?

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps out there and its popularity is only increasing. One of the features that has made it stand out from other messaging apps is its ability to allow users to set photos or videos as their WhatsApp status. Setting a photo or video as your WhatsApp status can be a great way to express yourself, show off your creativity, and even just have some fun with friends and family.

Setting a photo or video as your WhatsApp status is very simple and straightforward. First, you need to open the app and tap on ‘Status’ at the bottom of the screen. This will open up your Status tab where you can see all of your contacts’ statuses as well as any statuses that you have already posted.

Once you are on this page, simply tap on the ‘+’ icon in the top right corner to add a new status. You will then be presented with several options for what kind of status you want to post; either a photo or video.

If you choose to post a photo, simply select it from your camera roll or take a new one using your device’s camera app. Once you have chosen the photo that you want to post, simply tap on ‘Set as Status’ at the bottom of the screen and it will be posted for all of your contacts to see.

For videos, things are slightly different but still relatively simple. Instead of taking a video directly within the app like with photos, you must first record the video using an external camera app such as iMovie or Adobe Premiere Rush before uploading it into WhatsApp. Once uploaded into WhatsApp, simply select it from your library and tap on ‘Set as Status’ at the bottom of the screen.

Conclusion:

Setting a photo or video as your WhatsApp status is an easy way to express yourself and have some fun with friends and family. All you need to do is open up WhatsApp, navigate to ‘Status’ tab, tap on ‘+’ icon in top right corner, choose either photo or video option depending upon what type of content you want to post, select desired content from camera roll/library (for videos), and finally hit ‘Set as Status’ button at bottom.
