WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature allowing users to add brief music clips to their Status updates, bringing back nostalgia from the Myspace era.
What’s New?
📌 Music in Status: Users can now add music clips to their WhatsApp Status, similar to Instagram Stories.
📌 Song Selection: A music note icon lets users choose songs from millions of tracks available in the app.
📌 Clip Length:
- Up to 15 seconds for photo Status.
- Up to 60 seconds for video Status.
📌 End-to-End Encryption: Unlike Instagram, WhatsApp music feature is private—only friends can see shared songs, and even WhatsApp cannot access them.
Meta Growing Music Integration
This feature comes after Meta introduced music across Instagram profiles, Notes, and posts. With WhatsApp joining the trend, music-based social sharing is becoming a standard feature across Meta’s platforms.
Global Rollout
WhatsApp has started rolling out the music Status feature worldwide, with full availability expanding in the coming weeks.
