Statusly

Last updated: 24 July 2026 Effective date: 24 July 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you", "your") and Ismail Idris, an individual developer based in Nigeria ("we", "us", "our"), governing your use of the Statusly Android application and any updates to it (the "App").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App, and uninstall it if you already have.

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference, and by the Google Play Terms of Service.

2. IMPORTANT — no affiliation with WhatsApp or Meta

Statusly is an independent, unofficial utility. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, sponsored by, certified by, or in any way officially connected to WhatsApp LLC, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

• "WhatsApp", "Meta", "Instagram", and related names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners. We claim no rights in them.
• Any use of those names in the App or its store listing is purely descriptive — to explain, accurately and fairly, what the App does.
• We are not responsible for WhatsApp, for its behaviour, or for any change WhatsApp makes that affects the App.
• The App does not log into your WhatsApp account, does not connect to WhatsApp's servers, and does not modify, patch, or interfere with the WhatsApp application.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

By using the App you represent that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using it under any applicable law.

4. What the App does

Statusly is a utility that helps you work with status media that WhatsApp has already downloaded onto your own device when you viewed those statuses. Specifically, it lets you:

• Browse status photos and videos already present on your device
• Save them to your device's gallery
• Share them to other apps, or repost them to your own status
• Receive local notifications when new statuses appear
• Open a WhatsApp chat with a phone number without saving that number to your contacts
• Browse and share a library of text/quote status cards included with the App

How it works, technically: you grant the App read access to a specific folder using Android's own system folder picker. The App reads files already in that folder. It does not bypass, circumvent, break, or defeat any security measure, encryption, access control, or technical protection measure.

5. Licence

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App on a device you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use.

You must not:

• Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law
• Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise transfer the App
• Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice
• Use the App to build a competing product, or scrape or extract its content in bulk
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, ad-serving, or purchase-verification feature
• Use the App in any way that breaks any applicable law, or the terms of WhatsApp or any other service

6. Your responsibilities regarding content

This section matters. Please read it carefully.

The App does not create, own, host, upload, or moderate any status content. All status media belongs to whoever created or owns it. You are solely responsible for how you use it.

By using the App, you agree that:

• You will respect other people's rights. Content posted as a status may be protected by copyright and by privacy and personality rights. Saving, sharing, or reposting it without permission may be unlawful in your country.
• You will obtain consent where required. Before saving, resharing, or reposting someone's photo or video, get their permission. Treat other people's content the way you would want yours treated.
• You will not use the App to harass, stalk, defame, threaten, blackmail, or invade the privacy of anyone, or to redistribute intimate or sensitive images of any person without their clear consent.
• You will not use the App in connection with any unlawful content, including content that sexually exploits or endangers children, incites violence, or infringes intellectual property rights.
• You accept full responsibility and legal liability for any content you save, share, or repost, and for any consequence of doing so.

We do not monitor what you save or share, and we cannot. Everything happens on your device. This means we cannot police misuse — which is exactly why the responsibility sits with you.

If you believe someone has used the App to infringe your rights, please contact us; note that because we host nothing, our practical ability to help is limited, and you will usually need to contact the platform where the content was shared.

7. Advertising

The App is free and funded by advertising. By using the free version you agree that we may display advertisements, including banner, interstitial, app-open, and native ads.

• Ads are supplied by third-party networks. We do not control and are not responsible for the content of ads or for any product, service, or website they promote.
• Your dealings with advertisers are solely between you and them.
• Advertising is subject to Section 9 of our Privacy Policy, including your choices about personalisation.

8. In-app purchases

The App offers a one-time purchase to remove advertisements ("Remove Ads").

• All purchases are processed by Google Play, not by us. Your payment relationship is with Google under the Google Play Terms of Service.
• The purchase is a licence to use the ad-free version of the App; it is tied to your Google account and can be restored using the "Restore purchases" option.
• Refunds are governed by the Google Play refund policy and any mandatory consumer rights you have under applicable law, including Nigerian consumer protection law and, where relevant, EU/UK withdrawal rights. Requests generally go to Google Play in the first instance.
• Prices may change. Changes do not affect purchases you have already completed.
• We may modify or discontinue features, but we will not remove the core ad-free benefit you paid for while the App remains available.

9. Availability, updates, and dependence on third parties

• The App is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not promise it will be available at all times or free from interruption.
• We may release updates, and may change, suspend, or discontinue any feature — or the App entirely — at any time. Where practical we will give reasonable notice.
• The App depends on things we do not control, including your device, your operating system version, Android's permission model, and the behaviour and file structure of WhatsApp. If any of these change, some or all features may stop working. This is a known and accepted risk of using the App, and is not a defect for which we are liable.
• You are responsible for your device, your network costs, and for backing up anything you care about.

10. Our intellectual property

The App itself — its source code, design, user interface, name, logo, icon, graphics, and the quote/status cards we supply — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you, except the limited licence in Section 5.

11. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you. We are not obliged to keep feedback confidential.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

We specifically disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or compatible with your device, that defects will be corrected, or that it will continue to work with any version of WhatsApp or Android.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right you have under mandatory consumer protection law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
• We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from: content you or others save, share, or repost; your failure to obtain any necessary permission; loss or corruption of media or data on your device; any act or omission of WhatsApp, Google, or any other third party; or any third-party advertisement.
• Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App and these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid us for the App in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) NGN 10,000 (or its equivalent).

These limits apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing here excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with: your use or misuse of the App; your breach of these Terms; your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party, including intellectual property and privacy rights; and any content you save, share, or repost.

15. Termination

• You may end this agreement at any time by uninstalling the App.
• We may suspend or terminate your licence immediately, without notice, if you materially breach these Terms or use the App unlawfully.
• On termination, the licence in Section 5 ends and you must stop using and uninstall the App.
• Sections that by their nature should survive — including 2, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 — survive termination.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the App are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

You and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Nigeria, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect our intellectual property.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us at the address in Section 19 so we can try to resolve the matter informally. Most issues can be settled quickly this way.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you non-waivable rights, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in your local courts.

17. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App, and supersede any earlier agreement or understanding.
• Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions stay in full force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms. We may assign them to a successor in connection with a transfer of the App, on notice to you.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Language. These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is for convenience only; the English version prevails.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, give reasonable notice in the App or on our listing before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the App after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the App and uninstall it.
