How to Add Music to WhatsApp Status (No Extra Apps Needed)

How to Add Music to WhatsApp Status

If you're wondering how do I put music on my WhatsApp status, you're not alone. While WhatsApp doesn't offer a built-in music feature, there are simple workarounds that let you share your favorite songs in your status updates—whether it's a photo, a video, or just a vibe you're trying to share.

Here’s exactly how you can do it, step by step.

Method 1: Play Music in the Background While Recording

This is the fastest way to add music to a WhatsApp status—no editing apps or software required.

1. Play the Music. Start playing a song on your phone using any music app (like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube).

2. Open WhatsApp. Go to the Status tab and tap the camera icon to create a new status.

3. Record While Music Plays. Hold the record button while the music plays in the background to capture both video and sound.

4. Post the Status. Preview your clip, then tap the send icon to upload it with the music included.

   
   

Method 2: Upload a Video That Already Has Music

1. Create or Record the Video. Use your phone’s screen recorder or camera to record a short video with music in the background.

2. Save the Video. Make sure the video is saved to your phone’s gallery or camera roll.

3. Open WhatsApp. Tap the Status tab and then the gallery icon to select a video.

4. Upload the Video. Choose your music-backed video and tap send to share it as your status.

Method 3: Use Screen Recording to Add Music

1. Play the Music. Start the song or audio you want to feature.

2. Start Screen Recording. Use your phone’s screen recording feature to capture both the visuals and the audio.

3. Trim the Video. Edit the recording if needed so it fits WhatsApp’s 30-second status limit.

4. Upload to WhatsApp. Go to Status > tap the gallery icon > select your screen recording > post.

Can You Add Music to a Photo Status?

Not directly, but here’s a workaround:

1. Create a Music Video. Use a screen recording or slideshow app to combine a photo with music.

2. Save the Clip. Make sure the music-backed photo is saved as a video.

3. Upload to WhatsApp. Post it just like you would a normal video status.
