WhatsApp users can now add songs to their Status updates

WhatsApp launched a brand new function on Friday, the place customers can embrace temporary music clips of their Standing updates, harking back to the Myspace period.

Standing resembles Instagram Tales and permits customers to share images, movies, and textual content that disappear after 24 hours. When creating a brand new Standing, customers can faucet on a music word icon to select from thousands and thousands of accessible songs. They’ll submit music clips of as much as 15 seconds for images and as much as 60 seconds for movies. 

The launch of music clips follows mother or father firm Meta introducing related capabilities to Instagram, the place customers can add songs to profiles, Notes, and posts.

WhatsApp’s function is analogous, however with a key distinction: music shared on Standing is end-to-end encrypted, which means solely mates can see the songs. WhatsApp itself can’t view the songs that customers share.

WhatsApp has began to roll out the brand new function globally and can proceed to develop availability over the approaching weeks.
