How to add music to WhatsApp Status: A step-by-step guide

WhatsApp recently announced a new feature that lets you add music to your Status.

It is a feature similar to Meta-owned Instagram and Facebook, in which you can add up to 15 seconds of music for an image and up to 60 seconds when uploading a video.

Notably, WhatsApp Status updates are protected with end-to-end encryption and will be available for 24 hours after they are posted.

WhatsApp Status Composer now includes a new music icon, which displays a pop-up card when tapped.

You can search for specific tracks, or select one of several tracks that are popular in your region.

Once you've selected a music track, you can check your Status audience, or make additional edits and mention other users or groups before you hit publish.

If you are looking for steps to follow for adding music to WhatsApp Status, this guide is perfect for you.
