WhatsApp has just launched a new feature supposed to enhance your Status sharing experience – the ability to add music to your WhatsApp Status.

The ability to add music on the Status is already available on Meta’s other services like Instagram and Facebook, and has now made its way to WhatsApp.

Adding Music on WhatsApp Status

The latest WhatsApp update allows you to add up to 60 seconds of music to your status. When it comes to music availability, WhatsApp says that the music library has over ‘millions of songs’.

Keep in mind that this feature is part of a staged rollout, so it may take some time before it becomes available to all.
