Tech Desk – July 25, 2025:
WhatsApp continues to be one of the most widely used messaging platforms around the globe. From texting and file sharing to sending voice notes and video clips, WhatsApp plays a major role in our daily communication. One of its most interactive features is the Status option, where users can share photos and short videos to express moments, thoughts, or moods—similar to Instagram and Facebook Stories.
But did you know you can now add music to your WhatsApp Status too? Much like Meta’s other platforms, WhatsApp now supports music integration, making your updates more expressive and engaging. Whether you want to add a favorite track to a photo or enhance a video with background music, the new Status Composer makes it easy.
When you post a photo to your Status, you can add a 15-second music clip. For videos, you can include up to 60 seconds of music. The best part? Even after adding the song, your status remains end-to-end encrypted, ensuring your privacy.
Your WhatsApp Status, including the music, will remain visible for 24 hours after posting. The interface is user-friendly. When you open the Status Composer, you’ll now notice a new music icon at the top of the screen. Tapping on it brings up a pop-up card that allows you to search for your favorite tracks or select from a list of trending songs.
To start, open the WhatsApp app on your phone and go to the Updates tab located in the bottom navigation bar. Tap the “+” icon to add a new status. You’ll then be able to choose a photo or video from your media library.
Once you’ve selected your media, tap the new music icon on the screen. You can either search for a specific song or pick from the recommended tracks shown in the pop-up. Once you choose a song, use the slider to select the exact portion you want to include in your status.
After confirming that the right part of the track is selected, return to the Status Composer and tap the “✓” checkmark. Finally, hit the green send button to upload your music-enhanced status.
And that’s it—you’re done! Now your WhatsApp Status doesn’t just tell a story visually, but also emotionally through music. Whether it’s a romantic song, an energetic beat, or a nostalgic tune, you can now share your mood with more style than ever before.
With this new feature, WhatsApp has taken another step forward in transforming how we connect with friends and family. So go ahead—add your soundtrack to life, one status at a time.
