WhatsApp Stories
An Android app for viewing, saving, and managing WhatsApp statuses with notification support, auto-save, and premium features.
§ problem
WhatsApp stories disappear after 24 hours with no built-in way to save them — this app provides a native gallery experience for viewing, saving, and organizing statuses.
§ overview

- Implemented background services for story watching and notifications when new statuses are posted.
- Integrated Google AdMob for monetization and in-app billing for a premium version with auto-save and ad removal.
- Used Glide and Picasso for efficient image loading and UniversalVideoView for video playback.
