How to add your favourite music to WhatsApp status | Technology News
On Friday, WhatsApp introduced a new feature that allows users to add up to 15 seconds of music to a text, photo, or video status. This feature has been available on other Meta-owned platforms like Instagram and Facebook for a while, and now the same is available for WhatsApp users worldwide.
This feature is accessible via the Updates section of WhatsApp, where users can add music to their stories, which will remain active for 24 hours. For photos, users can add up to 15 seconds of audio, while for videos, they can use up to 60 seconds of music from their favourite art or album.
WhatsApp says the music library currently has “millions of songs to choose from.” Despite this addition, WhatsApp Status will remain end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that even WhatsApp cannot see what users have shared.
