You can easily add movie status on WhatsApp to share movie clips, dialogues, scenes, or songs with your contacts. WhatsApp allows you to set video clips up to 30 seconds long as your status update.
Finding Movie Clips to Use
The first step is to find a movie clip or song you want to use for your status. Here are some options:
- Download short clips from movies or shows using apps like Wynk or other video downloading sites.
- Screen record your favorite scene from a movie on Netflix, Prime Video, etc.
- Search for “movie status video” on YouTube and filter by duration to find 30-second clips.
- Use an app like InShot to trim longer videos into 30-second clips.
- Record your phone’s screen while playing a movie scene on it and trim to 30 seconds.
Make sure any video clip you want to use is less than 30 seconds long. WhatsApp will not allow longer videos as status updates.
Adding the Movie Status
Once you have your movie clip trimmed and ready, just follow these simple steps to add it as your status on WhatsApp:
- Open WhatsApp and tap on the Status tab at the bottom.
- Tap on the camera icon to bring up the status composer.
- Tap on the Gallery icon and select your saved movie clip from your photos.
- You can trim the video here by dragging the ends of the timeline if needed.
- Tap on the check mark to select the clip.
- You can now add text, stickers, drawings, or emojis on top of the video clip.
- When done, tap on the send icon to post the status.
Your movie clip will now be shared as your status update! All your WhatsApp contacts will be able to view it.
Things to Keep in Mind
Here are some tips to make sure your movie status looks great and stays within WhatsApp’s guidelines:
- Keep clips short and under 30 seconds.
- Don’t use content with nudity, violence, or copyrighted music.
- Add text, stickers, or drawings to make it more unique.
- Trim clips smoothly without abrupt cuts.
- Ensure the video is high resolution and not pixelated.

Also keep in mind that any media used as a WhatsApp status is automatically deleted after 24 hours. So if you want to reuse a clip, make sure to save it to your gallery.
