If you’ve ever wanted to spice up your WhatsApp Status with music, you’re in luck. Whether you’re using an iPhone or Android device, WhatsApp now allows you to easily add music to your status updates. In this step-by-step guide, I’ll walk you through two simple ways to do it — one built directly into WhatsApp and another clever workaround if you want to use your own songs.
🔹 Method 1: Use WhatsApp’s Built-In Music Feature
-
Open WhatsApp and go to the Updates tab at the bottom left.
-
Tap the + Add Status icon.
-
Choose a photo or video from your gallery, or record a new one.
-
In the upper section, tap the music note icon 🎵.
-
Browse through WhatsApp’s music collection or use the search bar to find a specific song or artist.
-
Tap the arrow icon beside the song to select it.
-
Use the slider at the bottom to choose the section of the song you want to feature (up to 15 seconds).
-
Tap Done, add an optional caption, and hit Send to post it to your Status.
✅ This is a quick and polished way to add music, using WhatsApp’s built-in library.
🔹 Method 2: Add Music Playing From Another App (Workaround)
If you want to add a song that isn’t available in WhatsApp’s library (e.g. Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube Music), here’s a clever trick:
-
Open your music player of choice and start playing the desired song.
-
With the music playing, switch back to WhatsApp and go to the Status section.
-
Press the camera icon to create a new video status.
-
Hold down the record button to film while the song is playing through your phone speakers.
-
Once finished, release the button and post the video.
🎧 The recorded video will include the audio from your music app — great for adding any song you want!
💡 Tips for Best Results:
-
Status updates support up to 15 seconds for images and the full length of short videos.
-
Use a quiet environment for the best sound quality when recording music live.
-
Always respect copyright laws if you’re posting to public or professional accounts.
