When creating a new Status, users can select a music note icon to browse through millions of available songs. The duration of music clips can be up to 15 seconds for photos and up to 60 seconds for videos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This launch of music clips comes after Meta, WhatsApp&#8217;s parent company, introduced similar features to Instagram, enabling users to add songs to their <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/08\/22\/relive-the-myspace-days-by-adding-a-favorite-song-to-your-instagram-profile\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">profiles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/06\/13\/you-can-now-share-music-on-instagram-notes-plus-view-translations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Notes<\/a>, and posts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although WhatsApp&#8217;s feature shares similarities with Instagram&#8217;s, there is a notable difference: music shared on WhatsApp Status is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that only the user&#8217;s friends can view the songs. WhatsApp itself does not have the ability to access the songs shared by its users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rollout of this new feature has begun globally and will continue to expand to more users over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/03\/28\/whatsapp-users-can-now-add-songs-to-their-status-updates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, WhatsApp introduced a new feature that enables users to add short music clips to their Status updates, evoking memories of the Myspace era.
