For some time now you can post statuses on WhatsApp with music like “stories” as we know in Instagram, in which users can upload photos or videos accompanied by music to give a different touch to your publication.

WhatsApp despite being an application more focused on personal and collective messaging, is gradually taking paths very similar to those of other social networks, and is updating its content based on the tools that most often like in other social networks.

How to put music in WhatsApp statuses?

It is a very common question lately, since there is no specific button where you can add music when posting a status, as if we can find in other social networks.

However that does not mean that you can’t do it, because it allows you to include music in your WhatsApp statuses without any problem. For them you will only need to follow some small guidelines that we detail below:

Select a music player that can be opened in the background: Spotify, Youtube Premium, Tidal, Deezer or even the music player included in your phone.
Look for the song we want to add to the status we are going to publish
We go to WhatsApp statuses –> Click on My status
We will open the camera of our mobile
When it sounds the little piece of the song that we want to publish, we will keep pressed the camera button to record a video
When we stop pressing the button, it will end the recording of our status
We review the recorded before publishing
And if the content that we have recorded with our background music, is what we were looking for, then we will only have to press send and ready

But what if I want to upload a WhatsApp status with music and we do not want to record a video, we just want to publish the song accompanied by a photo. No need to worry, we also have the solution for your concerns and now we will further impinge on it.
