What Is WhatsApp Status?

WhatsApp Status is a feature that allows users to share text, photos, videos, and GIFs that disappear after 24 hours. It’s similar to Instagram and Facebook Stories but within the WhatsApp ecosystem. However, WhatsApp does not provide a built-in option to add music to status updates.

Luckily, there are some simple workarounds that allow you to add background music to your WhatsApp Status.

Methods to Add Music to WhatsApp Status

Method 1: Using Your Phone’s Speaker and WhatsApp Camera

One of the easiest ways to add music to your WhatsApp Status is by playing music in the background while recording a video.

Steps:

1. Open your favorite music app (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, etc.).
2. Play the song you want to add to your status.
3. Open WhatsApp and go to the "Status" tab.
4. Tap the camera icon to start recording.
5. While recording, let the music play in the background.
6. Stop recording when you have captured the desired part of the song.
7. Add stickers, text, or captions if needed, then post it as your status.

✔ Pros: No need for additional apps.
❌ Cons: Background noise may interfere with the recording.

Method 2: Using a Video Editing App

If you want a more polished result, you can use a video editor to add music to a video before uploading it to WhatsApp.

Steps:

1. Download a video editing app like InShot, Kinemaster, or CapCut.
2. Record or select a video from your gallery.
3. Open the app and import your video.
4. Select the "Add Music" option.
5. Choose a song from your library or the app’s music collection.
6. Adjust the audio levels and trim the track as needed.
7. Save the video and upload it to WhatsApp Status.

✔ Pros: High-quality sound and better editing control.
❌ Cons: Requires additional app installation.

Method 3: Using WhatsApp’s Built-in GIFs and Stickers with Music

While WhatsApp does not allow direct music uploads, you can use apps like Instagram to create a music-based story and then upload it to WhatsApp.

Steps:

1. Open Instagram Stories and create a new story.
2. Tap on the Music sticker and search for a song.
3. Choose the desired music and record a blank or visual story.
4. Save the story to your gallery.
5. Open WhatsApp and upload it as your status.
