Split videos for WhatsApp Status, 90 seconds at a time
WhatsApp has grown the Status video limit from 30 to 60 and now to 90 seconds — but anything longer still gets cut off, and trimming pieces by hand for every status gets old fast.
Split the whole video into exact 90-second parts once, then post them in order. Viewers watch your statuses back to back like one continuous video.
WhatsApp Status limits in 2026
The current rules for video statuses.
| Max Status video length | 90 seconds |
|---|---|
| Older app versions | May still cap at 30–60 seconds |
| Split interval to use | 90 seconds (or 60 to be safe) |
| Playback | Statuses play sequentially, in posting order |
WhatsApp raised the limit to 90 seconds after earlier bumps from 30 to 60. If your audience runs older versions, 60-second parts are the safer choice.
How to post a long video to WhatsApp Status
Pick the video
Import from Photos — a family event, a trip, a product demo.
Split by time → 90 seconds
One tap slices the full video into status-sized segments.
Check the cut points
Move any cut with the slider so parts do not end mid-sentence.
Post parts in order
Upload them one after another — they play back seamlessly for viewers.
Made for sharing, built for privacy
Exact 90-second parts
No more trimming the same video five times by hand — the app does the whole file in one pass.
Order preserved
Numbered exports mean part 3 never sneaks in before part 2.
Nothing leaves your phone
Family videos are processed 100% on-device. No uploads, no cloud, no accounts.
A 6-minute video becomes four clean 90-second statuses. Post them in order and your contacts watch the whole thing without missing a beat.
Frequently asked
What is the WhatsApp Status video limit in 2026?
90 seconds per status. WhatsApp increased it from 30 seconds to 60, then to 90. Some older app versions may still enforce the shorter caps.
How do I post a video longer than 90 seconds?
Split it into 90-second parts with the app and post the parts sequentially. Viewers see them as consecutive statuses that play one after another.
Will viewers watch the parts in the right order?
Yes — WhatsApp plays statuses in the order you posted them, so export numbering makes it foolproof.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Parts are exported in original quality. WhatsApp applies its own compression on upload, but you avoid compressing twice.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
Never. All processing happens on your device, which matters when you are splitting personal and family videos.
