WhatsApp has been experimenting with a new update that will likely delight users. The latest beta version 25.1.10.73 for iOS enables users to add songs to their Status updates, offering a wide selection of tracks from popular artists and bands. This feature follows Meta’s recent partnership expansion with Universal Music label.
WhatsApp Status Songs – Songs for your WhatsApp status
Some beta iOS users now have access to a feature where adding a song to a photo converts it into a 15-second video. The song length in video updates is restricted by the video duration, according to WABetaInfo.
Users can now search for specific music or artists directly from the Status editor, making it easier to include favorite tracks in posts. This update adds a new level of personalization to WhatsApp, aligning it closer to Instagram’s functionality on the Meta platform.

The new feature for adding songs to Status on WhatsApp for iOS is currently only accessible to certain users in the beta version, but it may also become available to a limited group in the stable version of the app. However, the feature is not widely accessible yet, but it is expected to be officially released soon.
