Ever since Snapchat introduced the story feature where images would vanish in 24 hours, all other social media platforms quickly jumped onto the trend. This includes WhatsApp as well, and they call it a ‘Status’ but does lack a few features in comparison to other platforms. For example, there is no way to natively add music to a WhatsApp status.
If that leaves you disappointed – we’re here to help. In this article, we want to show you a few easy workarounds to add a song to your WhatsApp status on your iPhone and Android devices. You can either play background music and record a video status, or use a third-party app to add music to your content. Let’s begin with the latter.

How to Put WhatsApp Status With a Song
WhatsApp allows you to record the sound along with the video for the status. Now, all you need to do is use this feature to your advantage and add your favorite music to the status. Here’s how:
Step 1: Use any music player app on your phone and play the song that you wish to use as the background music for your WhatsApp status. For this, you can even use an online music app. Make sure that you’re playing the song through the speaker and not your wired or wireless headset.
Step 2: Now, open WhatsApp while the song is playing in the background. Go to status and start recording your status. Ensure that the music playback is at its maximum volume level. This way, you can ensure a better background music quality for your status.
Step 3: When you’re done recording, quickly preview the recording and, if everything is in the right order, hit that blue arrow at the bottom and your WhatsApp status will be uploaded.
