The status is an excellent feature of WhatsApp. WA lets you post video or image status, but it doesn’t let you download the status of other users. The status can be a message to a person you like or hate, an image of a new car or bike you’ve bought recently, a photo or video of a trip, etc. WhatsApp lets you set a GIF or a JPG/PNG format file as your status message. Most of us would look for status pictures on Google, Bing, etc. As billions of users use search engines, most of the photos you’ll find with them might have already have been shared by someone. To find cool or unique statuses or create a new one, use one of the applications I’ve shared below.

Video Splitter for WhatsApp
Use this application if you’ve saved a cool video on your phone and want to share a part of it on WhatsApp. VSW enables you to create a 20 to 30 seconds clip from a lengthy video. When you select a video, you must choose a start and end time. Once you do so, VSW will extract the clip and display it on your screen. VSW is a large application (37MB APK).
GIF Maker
With this application, you can create animated GIF images from the photos or videos saved on your phone. GIFM enables you to edit or compress GIFs. Editing a GIF is nothing but editing an image. This is because a GIF image is made of several pictures. When you create a GIF, the application that displays the GIF will open the images one after another after a specific time interval.
GIFM lets you crop or trim the picture. It allows you to apply a filter or add a frame to a photo. It also enables you to draw doodles on images and erase the part of a drawing that you don’t like. The app lets you undo/redo the changes you’ve made to an image. GIFs are good alternatives to short videos. They don’t have audio. As WhatsApp supports GIF statuses, you can set a GIF you’ve created with this application as a status.
Boomerang
Boomerang was launched by Instagram. It allows you to create short 5 to 10 seconds videos with either the smartphone’s front or the rear camera. It doesn’t support locally stored video files. Boomerang is easy to use. It opens your phone’s camera and displays two buttons – a circular button that will start/stop the video recording and a button to switch to the front/rear camera. When you tap the circular button twice, Boomerang will play the recorded clip repeatedly and display an option to save the clip on the smartphone or share it on other applications (WhatsApp, Facebook, etc).
