1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Fayakun Developers (“we”, “us”) handles information in the whatsready Android app (the “App”). whatsready (package com.whatsready.app) is a messaging toolkit: Status Saver (photos, videos and voice statuses), Direct Chat, Status Video Splitter, Text Status maker and Text Tools (Templates and Fancy Text). By using the App you agree to this policy.
This policy covers whatsready only. Our other apps have their own policies in our Legal Center.
2. Information we collect
We do not collect personal information and we have no server. The only network traffic is from the ad SDKs, and when you open a chat through the public wa.me link.
Data stored only on your device
- Settings: the status-folder access you granted, your default country code, and the “Detect copied numbers” switch;
- Templates: the title, text, category and pin state of templates you create;
- Temporary files: status previews, thumbnails, voice-status copies for playback, split video parts and text-status images in the App’s cache;
- Saved media: statuses, video parts and text-status images you save, in
Pictures/whatsreadyandMovies/whatsready, and voice statuses inMusic/whatsready.
Phone numbers and messages you type in Direct Chat, and the text you type in the Text Status maker, are not stored. App backup is disabled.
3. Status Saver and folder access
To show statuses, you grant access to one folder (WhatsApp’s or WhatsApp Business’s .Statuses folder) once, through Android’s own folder picker. The App rejects any other folder, reads only that folder, and never asks for general storage permission. You can revoke this access any time in Android settings.
The App shows the photos, videos and voice statuses (audio files) found in that folder. Voice statuses are played inside the App, on your device. Saving a status copies it to your gallery or music folder; sharing or reposting opens Android’s share sheet or WhatsApp only when you tap it. WhatsApp’s text-only statuses are not files on your phone, so the App cannot read or save them.
Only statuses you have already viewed on your phone appear. Please respect other people’s privacy and only save or share content you have permission to use.
4. Direct Chat and clipboard
Direct Chat builds a link in the public format https://wa.me/<number>?text=<message> and opens it in WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business. From that point, WhatsApp’s own privacy policy applies. whatsready never sends messages for you and never reads your chats.
Copied-number detection: while the App is open (on launch or when you return to it), it checks the clipboard for a phone number to offer a “Copied number → Chat” shortcut. The clipboard is never read in the background and nothing is stored. You can turn this off with the Detect copied numbers switch.
5. Video Splitter
You pick a video with Android’s Photo Picker, so the App sees only the video you choose. Videos up to 10 minutes long are split into 30- or 60-second parts (your choice) on your device. Parts are saved to Movies/whatsready or shared through the Android share sheet only when you ask.
6. Text Status maker
The Text Status maker turns the text you type into an image, with the background, font, size and alignment you choose. The image is created entirely on your device; the fonts are built into the App, so nothing is downloaded or uploaded. The image is saved to Pictures/whatsready or shared to WhatsApp (or another app) only when you tap Save image or Post to status. Your text is not stored after you leave the screen.
7. App permissions
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|

whatsready does not request contacts, storage, media, camera, microphone, location, notification access, accessibility or overlay permissions.
8. Advertising
whatsready is free and supported by ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may fill ads through its mediation partners: Meta Audience Network, Unity Ads, Chartboost and Liftoff Monetize.
- Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): before any ad is requested, the app shows Google’s consent form where required. You can change your choice from your device or by reinstalling the app.
- Rewarded ads (always your choice): some extra features are free in exchange for a short video you choose to watch. One video per use unlocks “Save all” statuses, splitting videos from 3 to 10 minutes, and “Share all” / “Save all” for split parts; one video unlocks the 12 premium Fancy Text styles for 1 hour. The Text Status fonts are always free. If no video is available, the action runs anyway. The App also shows a banner ad and interstitial ads at natural breaks: when switching between the Photos, Videos and Voice tabs, after saving, before reposting or posting a text status, and when you return from sharing. Interstitials appear at most once every 30 seconds.
- Opt out of personalized ads: on Android open Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads) and delete or reset your Advertising ID.
- Ad SDKs may add system permissions such as
AD_ID,ACCESS_ADSERVICES_*,WAKE_LOCKand a WorkManager background service. These are used only by the ad SDKs.
