WhatsApp is launching a new feature that will allow users to add music clips to their status updates, making them more engaging and expressive. The feature is gradually being introduced worldwide and will soon be accessible to all users.
When posting a status, users will see a new music note icon at the top of the screen. By tapping it, they can browse through a library of songs and select a clip to include in their post. Image-based statuses will support up to 15 seconds of music, while video statuses will allow up to 60 seconds. Users can also choose specific parts of a song to highlight.
WhatsApp’s status updates, similar to Instagram and Facebook Stories, already let users share text, photos, and videos that disappear after 24 hours. With the addition of music, users will have a new way to express themselves creatively and share their favorite songs with friends and family.
This update is part of WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to introduce new features that enhance communication and personalization. The rollout has begun, and users can expect to see the feature in their app in the coming weeks.
